Abstract
There are many small as well as large river basins in India These basins are subjected to flooding in the rainy season when they receive heavy and wide spread rainfall Envelope curves obtained by plotting the highest observed floods of various rivers versus their drainage areas are useful for designing dams and flood control structures on the rivers in those areas where flood records or hydro meteorological data are not sufficient In this paper envelope curves of the highest recorded floods for each of the meteorologically homogeneous regions of India are presented for their use in estimating the maximum probable flood discharge that can be expected in the river basin of a certain size
