abstract="We describe and give hydrological applications of a probabilistic model based on extreme value theory which can be used to study the values of a hydrologic process that exceed a certain threshold level Q B.This model is useful in estimating extreme events X T of return period T based on N years of available hydrologic record. We also present easy-to-use tables which give confidence intervals for X T.The hydrologic applications reported are a flood frequency analysis, a methodology for estimating flood damage, an estimation of precipitation probabilities, and a prediction of extreme tide levels.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
