However, much of this research appears in journals and reports and usually in a form not easily accessible to practitioners and students." "Flood Frequency Analysis answers this need by presenting the most popular and promising distributions and estimation procedures in a unified format. They offer the details that provide the basis for the computations, and they illustrate each procedure with real data."--Jacket ER -
