Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrologic and Water Resource Engineering is related to the national economy and people's livelihoods, and is closely related to everyone and every country.

With the change in global climate and the urgently rising demand for the development of water resources, the world is facing the engineering problem of water resources development. Problems in the development of hydrology and water resources are important research topics at present, and for a long time in the future.

Hydrology and water resources engineering issues include the construction of various hydropower stations, water diversion engineering, water transfer engineering, ship lock engineering, canal engineering, ocean engineering, seawater desalination, etc. In the construction of these engineering structures it is necessary to consider the total amount of water resources, the structure of channel engineering, and the damage caused by the interaction between water and soil (rock), anti-wave engineering, geological disasters, etc. It also involves artificial materials such as concrete structure and configuration, monitoring theory and methodology, and numerical simulation.

This Special Issue will introduce new theories, technologies, methods, and solutions to various problems in the construction of hydrology and water resources engineering.

This manuscript presents three families of distributions, namely the Beta, Beta Prime and Beta Exponential families of distributions. From all the distributions of these families, 14 statistical distributions of three, four and five parameters are presented that have applicability in the analysis of extreme phenomena in hydrology. These families of distributions were analyzed regarding the improvement of the existing legislation for the determination of extreme events, specifically the elaboration of a norm regarding frequency analysis in hydrology. To estimate the parameters of the analyzed distributions, the method of ordinary moments and the method of linear moments were used; the latter conforms to the current trend for estimating the parameters of statistical distributions. The main purpose of the manuscript was to identify other distributions from these three families with applicability in flood frequency analysis compared to the distributions already used in the literature from these families, such as the Log–logistic distribution, the Dagum distribution and the Kumaraswamy distribution. The manuscript does not exclude the applicability of other distributions from other families in the frequency analysis of extreme values, especially since these families were also analyzed within the research carried out in the Faculty of Hydrotechnics and presented in other materials. All the necessary elements for their use are presented, including the probability density functions, the complementary cumulative distribution functions, the quantile functions and the exact and approximate relations for estimating parameters. A flood frequency analysis case study was carried out for the Prigor RiverRiver, to numerically present the proposed distributions. The performance of this distributions were evaluated using the relative mean error, the relative absolute error and the L-skewness–L-kurtosis diagram. The best fit distributions are the Kumaraswamy, the Generalized Beta Exponential and the Generalized Beta distributions, which presented a stability related to both the length of the data and the presence of outliers.
