Abstract

For any development of hydraulic structures and dam modelling, flood frequency analysis is an effective tool to determine the appropriate measures and strategy. Flood frequency analysis has been conventionally used in hydraulic engineering and floodplain management. The present study is an attempt to estimate the expected flood using two probability distributions: Gumbel distribution and Log Pearson III distribution at Champua watershed, Upper Baitarani River Basin, Odisha. The analysis is based on annual maximum flood time series from 1991 to 2018 (28 years) obtained from Water Resources Information System at the Champua gauging station. Three Goodness of fit methods namely Kolmogorov Smirnov, Anderson Darling and Chi Squared tests are used to choose the better model. From the analysis, expected flood for return period 2, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 1000 years are calculated. Gumbel give an expected flood 521.72 cumecs while Log Pearson III give an expected flood of 493.17 cumecs for 2 years return period. It is observed that Gumbel estimated a higher values for all the said return period except for 1000 years where Log Pearson III predicted a much higher values. Goodness of test show inconsistent results. While Chi-squared test indicate Gumbel Method as the better model, the other two tests show that Log Pearson III is the better fitting model for the given dataset. Therefore, Log Pearson III is chosen as the best model. However, the results from both the distributions can be referred for storm management.
