The computation of flood magnitude and its likely occurrence to design different hydraulic structures are major challenges the research community. present study has been carried out identify homogeneous regions in Mahanadi basin Chhattisgarh part (data from 26 gauge/discharge sites) India using conventional clustering-based homogeneity tests then identification probability-weighted moment L-mom...

Cluckie (1990) states that "when a site has about 40 or 50 years of record it is unlikely to contribute significantly to the improvement of a regionally based statistical estimate by the availability of more data". In the present paper, the authors conclude that "databases with more than 300 station-years can be considered in a quite good condition in terms of quantity of information and that, ...

River flow extremes constitute a complex random process in both space and time. In this paper, some basic characteristics of flood flows considered as a spatial process are reviewed and discussed. Of particular interest are both marginal and joint distributional properties of annual peak flows at a collection of points in some large region. Two widely used regionalization methods for modeling t...

[1] Annual maximum peak discharge time series from 572 stations with a record of at least 75 years in the eastern United States are used to examine flood peak distributions from a regional perspective. The central issues of this study are (1) “mixtures” of flood peak distributions, (2) upper tail properties of flood peaks, (3) scaling properties of flood peaks, (4) spatial heterogeneities of fl...

Due to the complicated environment there are various types of highway disasters in Shaanxi Province (China). The damages caused are severe, losses are heavy, and have rapidly increased over the years, especially those caused by flood disasters along the rivers in mountainous areas. Therefore, research on risk evaluations, which play important roles in the prevention and mitigation of highway di...
