Magnitude and frequency of floods in Southern Ontario / B.P. Sangal and R.W. Kallio.: En36-503/99E-PDF

"Flood frequency analyses for southern Ontario rivers have been performed using five theoretical frequency distributions: the extreme value type I or Gumbel, Pearson type III, log-Pearson type III, log-normal and the three-parameter log-normal. A total of 129 gauging stations with 10 to 58 years of recorded maximum mean daily flows have been used. The Fuller formula, and a modification of the formula, have been found applicable for the estimation of the average and maximum ratios of the instantaneous peak flow to the mean daily flow"--Abstract, p. ix.
