The formation of groups for regional flood frequency analysis
A new technique is developed for identifying groups for regional flood frequency analysis. The technique uses a clustering algorithm as a starting point for partitioning the collection of catchments. The groups formed using the clustering algorithm are subsequently revised to improve the regional characteristics based on three requirements that are defined for effective groups. The result is ov...
متن کاملHybrid Regional Flood Analysis in the Namak Lake Watershed
Regional Flood Frequency Analysis (RFFA) is an efficient method in flood discharge estimation in ungauged watersheds or with short-term statistics. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the hybrid method in RFFA and maximum flood discharge estimation in the Namak Lake watershed, Iran. For this purpose, 16 hydrometric stations were selected. The selected hydrometric stations were then ...
متن کاملA regional Bayesian POT model for flood frequency analysis
Flood Frequency Analysis is usually based on the fitting of an extreme value distribution to the series of local streamflow. However, when the local data series is short, frequency analysis results become unreliable. Regional frequency analysis is a convenient way to reduce the estimation uncertainty. In this work, we propose a regional Bayesian model for short record length sites. This model i...
متن کاملThe use of flood regime information in regional flood frequency analysis
Understanding the hydro-climatological controls on floods is fundamental for estimating flood frequency. The river flood regime is a reflection of a complex catchment hydrological response to flood producing processes. Hence, the catchment similarity in a flood regime is a feasible basis for identifying flood frequency pooling groups used in regional estimation of design events. This study desc...
متن کاملComparison of hybrid regression and multivariate regression in the regional flood frequency analysis: A case study in Khorasan Razavi province
Background: Magnitude, rate and frequency of the stochastic and unexpected events are of great significance and importance in hydrology. Nowadays, for economic planning of the projects, the use of analytical methods of unexpected events in hydrology is unavoidable. The aim of this study was to compare hybrid regression and multivariate regression to estimate flood peak discharge in the province...
