Regi­onal Flood Frequ­ency Analys­is: Applicati­on to partly glacier­ized and/or groundwater-fet catch­ments

This study explores the application of the index flood method for estimating design floods at ungauged sites for rivers whose basins are partly glacierized and/or with substantial groundwater contribution to streamflow. The method is developed with observed flood data at available gaugin stations in the studied region in Iceland. Results indicate that the method is capable of estimating flood quantiles with reasonable accuracy at most tested sites.
