Mean of Variate in Flood Frequency Studies Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mean of the Variate X = Variate 'X' with a Recurrence Interval-Frequency Factor*Standard Deviation of the Z Variate Sample
x_m = x_T-K_z*σ
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Mean of the Variate X - Mean of the Variate X of a random hydrologic series with a return period.
Variate 'X' with a Recurrence Interval - Variate 'X' with a Recurrence Interval of a random hydrologic series with a return period.
Frequency Factor - Frequency Factor which varies between 5 to 30 according to rainfall duration is a function of recurrence interval (T) and the coefficient of skew (Cs).
Standard Deviation of the Z Variate Sample - Standard Deviation of the Z Variate Sample follows a certain probability distribution of a hydrologic model.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Variate 'X' with a Recurrence Interval: 9.43 --> No Conversion Required
Frequency Factor: 7 --> No Conversion Required
Standard Deviation of the Z Variate Sample: 1.25 --> No Conversion Required

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.
