Abstract

One of the most prevalent and traditional uses of statistics in hydrology is flood frequency analysis. The flood can occur practically everywhere and is considered the leading cause of natural disaster death worldwide. This study aims to apply the flood frequency analysis of the Kelantan streamflow site to identify the optimal distribution that best fits the flood frequency data from the goodness-of-fit test (GOF). Five distributions were applied in this study; namely lognormal (LG), generalized extreme value (GEV), generalized Pareto (GP), log-Pearson three (L3) and generalized logistic (GL) distribution. to obtain the parameter estimates. The distribution performance evaluation is then performed utilizing the GOF and efficiency evaluations. The results indicate that the generalized GP distribution is the best possible function for determining the annual peak flow at the Kelantan streamflow site.
