Abstract:

Only records that correspond with present river conditions should be used with flood frequency analysis when forecasting. A microcomputer test is discussed which aids in selecting appropriate data to represent the 'present' conditions. This computer program simplifies comparison of many optional record segments by a new non-parametric test. It inputs and manages data and prepares flood frequency plots of 'early' and 'after' sub-series, superimposed on one probability sheet. Separation and change in shape of these flood frequency plots indicate significant non-stationarity.
