Comparative Study of Flood Frequency Method on Selective Rivers

This present study consisted of study of four commonly used probability distribution function namely: Gumbel Extreme Value Type I, Log-Normal, Log-Pearson Type III, and Pearson Type III distribution and hence carry out flood frequency analysis using the studied probability distribution functions...
