What is Flood Frequency Analysis?

Flood Frequency Analysis is a technique used by hydrologists to predict flow values corresponding to specific return periods or probabilities along a river. After choosing the probability distribution that best fits the annual maxima data, flood frequency curves are plotted.

What is Peak Discharge?

In Hydrology, the term Peak Discharge stands for the highest concentration of runoff from the basin area. The concentrated flow of the basin greatly exaggerates and overtops the natural or artificial bank, and this might be called a flood.
