Abstract

An analysis using moment ratio diagrams of peak annual discharges of 172 Australian streams suggests that the log Pearson Type III distribution is appropriate for estimation of extreme flood discharges. The practice of setting to zero the coefficients of skewness of the logarithms of the peak discharges that are not statistically different from zero is questioned.
