Abstract
The generalized extreme value (GEV) model has been recommended by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States). In this study, we choose annual maximum water levels at two water gauging stations with long history data (more than 50 years) for flood frequency analysis. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method is used to estimate the parameters of the GEV model. The return level and the probability that next year's annual maximum level exceeds all previous level are obtained.
