Abstract
Extreme hydrometeorological events, including floods, droughts, and storms, may have serious economic and social consequences. Given the importance of dealing with such adverse events, several studies have focused specifically on each of these events. In water resource management, one of the challenging topics is related to droughts, whereas the design of hydraulic structures is based on floods. An accurate estimation of the risk caused by these events is essential. In this regard, hydrological frequency analysis, as a set of statistical methods and techniques, is commonly considered. In this chapter, first we provide a general context as well as the purpose of this book, then the readership along with the book structure. In addition, recommendations and suggestion on how to read and get benefit from the book are presented and illustrated.
