Uncertainty and Climate Variability in the Design and Operation of Water Resources Projects : Examples and Case Studies, Volume 2. Annexes

There are two common problems in flood hydrology: 1) estimate the return period for a given flood; and 2) estimate the flood for a given return period. A commonly used procedure to solve these problems is to fit a probability density function such...
