Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

As part of the current revision of Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR), a project team under the leadership of Dr Ataur Rahman of the University of Western Sydney (UWS) has been undertaking the 'Regional Flood Frequency Analysis for Victoria' project, aimed at improved design flood estimation for small, ungauged catchments in Victoria (Rahman, 2005; Haddad, Rahman and Weinmann, 2006; Rahman et al., 2008; Haddad, Rahman and Weinmann, 2008a). This project is supported by Engineers Australia and overseen by a panel of experts under the leadership of A/Prof James Ball of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) provided substantial support for the project by making available, through Thiess Services, a rectified database of flood data and associated information.
