Abstract: The power distribution is a special case of the Weibull distribution. It can be derived as the distribution function of the low flows of a stream, when the recession curve is assumed to be exponential, using a theoretical ...

Abstract: Equations for the probability weighted moments (PWMs) of the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution for minima are derived. The GEV-PWM model and five other models are fitted to the low flow data of 16 streams. The ...

Abstract: Storage capacity, yield, and reliability of a reservoir are random variables. Conditional distributions of these variables are studied by Monte Carlo simulation for operating periods up to 100 years. It is shown that these ...
