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 ...

Abstract: In water resources projects the determination of the dry period characteristics of rivers is important especially in arid and semiarid regions. Classical run and range analyses are based mainly on the use of the first-order ...

Abstract: The initiation of motion of coarse particles in the region of wave breaking is studied. The nondimensional sediment and wave characteristics that are significant in this phenomenon are determined. Experiments are performed ...
