Flood Frequency Analysis [PDF ebook] 

After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods of estimation of parameters, and problems related to regionalization. However, much of this research appears in journals and reports and usually in a form not easily accessible to practitioners and students. Flood Frequency Analysis answers this need by presenting the most popular and promising distributions and estimation procedures in a unified format. It offers the details that provide the basis for the computations, and illustrates each procedure with real data.
