After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods of estimation of parameters, and problems related to regionalization. However, much of this research appears in journals and reports and usually in a form not easily accessible to practitioners and... Read more

Biography
Hamed, Khaled; Rao, A. Ramachandro.
"Flood Frequency Analysis contains information from authentic highly regarded reference resources. A substantial number of tables related to flood frequency analysis are included and will enable the student to understand the data required for adequate analysis. Also presented is a good selection of figures illustrating solutions to flood frequency problems … It is a state-of-the-art presentation and is important as a source of graduate reference material."
-Philip E. LaMoreaux, Editor-in-Chief, Environmental Geology, November 2001
