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 Godavari basin with four gauging sites was undertaken with a view to predicting the floods of different return periods. Initially, flood frequency analysis was carried out by four different methods, namely, Gumbel's, Log Normal, Log Pearson Type III and Foster's methods, for the flood data of each of the four gauging sites so as to identify the most appropriate method. The results of the above investigations are analyzed and discussed and useful conclusions are arrived at. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
