Abstract
![CDATA[Flood is one of the most destructive and costly natural disasters in Australia. It often results in a heavy economic burden due to managing the damaged infrastructures afterward and disruption of day-to-day life. Hydrological studies on flood-prone areas are conducted to decrease the consequences of floods. In hydrological studies, estimation of design flood is needed. In this regard, the time series of the streamflow discharge dataset is the primary source and essential for fitting the probability distribution for flood frequency analysis (FFA). At present, the Australian Rainfall and Runoff recommended regional flood estimation method called RFFE Model that used annual maximum flood data till 2011, which is 10 years old as of 2022. This study extracted the up-to-date daily maximum discharge records from state authorities across Australia and used them for the construction of the annual maximum time series up to the year 2022. A total of 747 gauging station discharge records in Australia are cross-checked, with the data extracted up to 2022 for validation purposes. It is expected that this study will benefit both research and industry practices. An extraction routine is also built using the modern computational science language, R, for future data extraction and cross-validation deployment. The proposed extraction routine using R is also designed to suit different purposes based on the requirements, such as constrained by time interval, magnitude, and total counts of peaks.]]
