301013 Advanced Statistical Hydrology

Task:

Contains annual maximum flow data for Station 204017 at Bielsdown Creek at Dorrigo Number 2 & Number 3 in NSW State. Carry out the following tasks using R program:

1. Fit four different probability distributions (Normal, EV1, P3 and GEV) to the given annual maximum flow data to estimate 1% AEP flood discharge at the site.

2. Compare the estimated flood quantiles in (1) above with the estimate by a non-parametric method. For this, select an appropriate non-parametric flood frequency analysis method.

3. Recommend an appropriate flood discharge from the above results to be used for the design of a bridge just upstream of Station 204017.

Based on the above tasks, prepare a project report having the below structure:
