Abstract
The main problem in applying a partial duration series model in flood frequency analysis lies in the selection of the truncation level. From a practical point of view, it is important to have a simple and effective way of selecting this level. A truncation level study was conducted on hydrometric stations across Canada and regional equations were developed for estimating the truncation level using regression analysis. The homogeneous region was selected based on previous countrywide hydrological studies. From the hydrologic and physiographic parameters used in the regression analysis, the mean annual flood best explained the truncation level for all of the regions. Key words: flood, partial duration series, truncation level.
