Abstract:

© 2015, Engineers Australia. All rights reserved. Flood is a common phenomenon in many tropical countries. Estimation of design flood flow has been a concern for many years in both hydrologic research and in hydrologic practice. Design flood magnitudes provide a basis for sustainable flood management which has the aims of reducing flood risk, and protecting people's lives and property. Design flood magnitudes for a given location can be estimated by a number of approaches including analysis of past flood statistics or the use of catchment modelling approaches like design storm methods or continuous simulation. The aim of this paper is to apply Annual Maximum Series fitting method for design flood estimation in continuous simulation with particular reference to a monsoon catchment. In this aspect, the annual maximum series was used as a performance measure rather than reproduction of individual hydrographs. This approach was used as the focus was on reproducing the observed frequency curve. For this purpose, a case study is performed for a large catchment, namely the Ba River, located in central Vietnam. This catchment is subject to a monsoonal climate and also to tropical cyclones.
