Abstract

A broad overview of flood estimation in Australia is given. The development to the present time of flood estimation approaches and procedures is briefly reviewed. The 1987 edition of "Australian Rainfall and Runoff" represents the current state of the art, and the approaches adopted in preparing the revised edition are described. More detailed discussion is given of the procedures and design data adopted for estimating floods. The present status of design flood estimation, the effects of long term changes in catchments and climate, and the needs for further research are reviewed.
