a) The following table (Table 6) lists in order of magnitude the largest recorded discharge of a river with a drainage area of 12560 km2. Compute return periods and probabilities for annual series. Plot the annual series on Gumbel probability paper. Estimate the discharge for a flood with a probability of once in 200 years. (Apply Gringorten Formula :Tr= m−0.44n+0.12 ) (b) For a sample of 9 compute the Weibull, Hazen, and Cunnane plotting probabilities and the corresponding return periods for the largest and smallest ranks. Comment on the results. (c) Discuss the methods in common use for plotting the frequency of flood discharge in rivers.
