| Abstract: | ABSTRACT The paper deals with the estimation of the probability distribution of the yearly maximum of the peak discharge Q by means of the distribution of the maximum of the daily discharge q and the distribution of the ratio R = Q/q. The study was carried out for some catchments in Tuscany, analysing the dependence of the parameters of R on the geomorphic catchment parameters. The values of the discharge Q, relevant to an assigned return period, obtained by the methods given herein agree rather well (the error is about 20%) with those directly obtained from the observed values of Q. |
