Abstract

Design flow estimation in small to medium sized ungauged catchments is often required in hydrologic analysis and design and is of notable economic significance. Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) 1987 recommended the Probabilistic Rational Method for general use in south-east Australia. Since 1987, the methods in the ARR for NSW have not been upgraded similar to other Australian states although there has been availability of an additional 20 years of streamflow data and notable developments in both at-site and regional flood frequency analyses techniques in Australia and internationally.
