In the planning and design of major hydraulic structures and projects such as large reservoirs, it is essential to predict the magnitude and frequency of the maximum flood known as the design flood. For this purpose, flood frequency analysis is carried out but this analysis needs a long record of flood data. Presently, a case study of Krishna basin with four gauging sites was taken with a view to predict the floods of different return periods. Initially, flood frequency analysis is carried out by four different methods namely, Gumbel, Log Normal, Log Pearson Type-III and Foster's for the flood data of each of the four gauging sites, so as to identify the most appropriate method. The results of the investigation are analyzed and discussed and useful conclusions are drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
