Predicting flood discharges in the rivers of an ungauged basin is tedious because essential hydrological data is lacking. In mountainous countries like Nepal, the design of hydraulic structures in these steeply sloped rivers is of prime importance for flood control, as well as for electricity generation where hydraulic head is gained over short, steep reaches. This study illustrates a variety of approaches that can be used to perform flood frequency analysis of typical ungauged mountainous rivers, where discharge data are available from hydrologically similar catchments. The various methods are evaluated by comparing the goodness of fit of an array of hydrologic distribution functions. From each probability density function or regional empirical method, we predict the multi-year return periods for floods, information that is generally required to design the hydraulic structures. The analysis was done based on the annual maxima, peaks above threshold, and widely used regional empirical methods. This analysis was accomplished using the discharge data of Nayapul station near Jhapre Bagar collected from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, Government of Nepal, Kathmandu. The analysis and results of this study paved the way for the hydraulic design of water systems in the ungauged study region and demonstrated how the information acquired can be used for water resource management in catchments with similar hydrologic features.

This paper presents the development of runoff hydrographs for selected rivers in the Ogun-Osun river catchment, south west, Nigeria using Snyder and Soil Conservation Service (SCS) methods of synthetic unit hydrograph to determine the ordinates. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve Number method was used to estimate the excess rainfall from storm of different return periods. The peak runoff hydrographs were determined by convoluting the unit hydrographs ordinates with the excess rainfall and the value of peak flows obtained by both Snyder and SCS methods observed to vary from one river watershed to the other. The peak runoff hydrograph flows obtained based on the unit hydrograph ordinate determined with Snyder method for 20-yr, 50-yr, 100-yr, 200-yr and 500-yr, return period varied from 112.63 m3/s and 13364.30 m3/s, while those based on the SCS method varied from 304.43 m3/s and 6466.84 m3/s for the eight watersheds. However, the percentage difference shows that for values of peak flows obtained with Snyder and SCS methods varies from 13.14% to 63.30%. However, SCS method is recommended to estimate the ordinate required for the development of peak runoff hydrograph in the river watersheds because it utilized additional morphometric parameters such as watershed slope and the curve number (CN) which is a function of the properties of the soil and vegetation cover of the watershed.
