A complete hydraulic routing model for watershed runoff based on flood routing technique of kinematic wave approach for overland flow and channel flow is developed. Physically-based geomorphologic expression for hydrograph characteristics of ungaged watersheds are derived. A comparison limited to a set of contrived watersheds with the existing methods available in the literature has revealed that the new expressions predict the hydrograph characteristics with much improved accuracy than the existing methods. A hydraulic routing approach is also used to develop alternate expressions for hydrograph characteristics. The geomorphologic expressions for hydrologic response are used in a probabilistic approach for developing parameterized flood frequency curves which employs the convolution of joint probability distribution function of rainfall intensity and duration. An existing space-time stochastic rainfall model provided synthetic sequences of rainfall as input to the hydraulic routing model both of which are used for deriving flood frequency curves via simulation.

After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods of estimation of parameters, and problems related to regionalization. However, much of this research appears in journals and reports and usually in a form not easi
