Flood Frequency Analysis of Kucuk Aksu River

Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Science journal - Year 2017, Vol 38, Issue 4

Abstract

The determination of flood flows is very important in flood control planning and projecting, reducing of flood damages and designing of water structures. In this study, three-parameter log-normal, Gumbel, Pearson Type III and Log-Pearson Type III probability distributions were used to determine flood recurrences flows. To determine the optimal probability distribution, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and distribution graphics were obtained. According to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the distribution graphics, it was shown that the most suitable probability distribution is Log-Pearson Type III in determining flood recurrence flows. In Log-Pearson Type III, 100 years flood flow was determined as 236,10 m3/s.
