Changes in the river flood regime may be due to atmospheric processes (e.g., increasing precipitation), catchment processes (e.g., soil compaction associated with land use change), and river system processes (e.g., loss of retention volume in the floodplains). This paper proposes a new framework for attributing flood changes to these drivers based on a regional analysis. We exploit the scaling ...

In water resources management, environmental and ecological studies, estimation of design streamflow is often needed. For gauged catchments, at-site flood frequency analysis used for this purpose; however, ungauged regional (RFFA) the preferred method. RFFA attempts to transfer characteristics from catchments based on assumption homogeneity. A bibliometric presented here using Web Science (WoS)...

estimation of the magnitude and frequency of maximum instantaneous discharges and hydrographs are used for a variety of purposes, such as the design of bridges, culverts, flood-control structures; and the management and regulation of floodplains. fuller (1914), developed a flood-frequency formula based on analysis of flood peaks in hundred of streams to provide simple methods of estimating maxi...

Regional flood frequency analysis is a convenient way to reduce estimation uncertainty when few data are available at the gauging site. In this work, a model that allows a non null probability to a regional fixed shape parameter is presented. This methodology is integrated within a Bayesian framework and uses reversible jump techniques. The performance on stochastic data of this new estimator i...

frequency studies are, essentially, an application of the theories of probability and are based on available records of flood experiences. several methods of analysis, based on the mathematics of probabilities, have been proposed which, when applied to the same series of data, yield frequency curves which are in reasonable agreement throughout a useful range of probabilities. a widely used meth...

accurate estimate of flood flows at selected return periods is a fundamental step in flood control and design of hydraulic structures. due to the inadequacy or unavailability of flood flow records in several western catchments of iran, traditional regional flood frequency methods lead to remarkable estimate errors, particularly for long return periods. in this research, discriminant analysis is...
