Abstract: Historical floods on the Delaware River were analyzed using 15-, 25-, and 50-year-long records to determine whether floods in recent years are worse than those in previous periods. The 111-year-long record of annual maximum floods at Trenton, New Jersey, was used. Predictions of the 10-, 50-, 100-, and 1,000-year floods were seen to vary significantly with the record length used to predict them.
