Abstract:
The purpose of this research is the twofold one of attempting to answer some of the current problems in Engineering Hydrology and
at the same time to provide analytical methods for the basic understanding
of hydrologic systems.
In order to design hydraulic structures such as spillways,
dams, bridges, flood control and drainage schemes on a sound economic
basis it is essential that accurate statistical data be available for
the streamflow under consideration.
Obtaining such data are:
The two basic methods of
(i) Statistical analysis of available streamflow records.
(ii) Use of a deterministic catchment model together with
statistical rainfall data.
