Özet

Regional flood analysis techniques were used to improve the available information about floods either at a point or at all points of interest in a region. The entropy principle was employed as a convenient statistical tool in evaluating regional flood information and uncertainty. It was observed that reduction of uncertainty or increase in information about flood characteristics within a basin is the most crucial step towards coping with flood.
