Abstract

Accurate estimations of flood peaks, volumes and hydrographs are needed to design safe and cost-effective hydraulic structures. In this study, we propose a statistical approach for the estimation of the design variables peak and volume by constructing a synthetic design hydrograph. Our approach is based on fitting probability density functions to observed flood hydrographs and takes the dependence between the two variables peak and volume into account. The method consists of the following six steps: sampling of flood events, baseflow
