Flood frequency analysis using method of moments and L-moments of probability distributions

Estimation of maximum flood discharge (MFD) at a desired location on a river is important for planning, design and management of hydraulic structures. This can be achieved using deterministic models with extreme storm events or through frequency analysis by fitting of probability distributions to th...
