Abstract
![CDATA[Learning via projects is an effective method in engineering. In this paper, the implementation of a project and associated learning are presented. The project is part of a doctoral study of the first author, which involves collation and preparation of a quality controlled annual maximum flood (AMF) dataset to be used in a regional flood frequency analysis (RFFA) study. A total of 176 catchments from New South Sales (NSW), 195 catchments from Queensland (QLD) and 183 catchments from Victoria (VIC) are selected. Here, the AMF data were obtained from ARR Project 5 till 2011, which were then updated until the latest year available (2018). These AMF data have been checked by various descriptive statistics and diagnostics plots. Finally, GEV distribution has been applied to estimate flood quantiles for two stations. This will be repeated for all the selected stations, and will be used to develop a GEV distribution based RFFE technique for Australia. This paper also summarises the learning aspects from this engineering project.]]
