Abstract

Developing of techniques for regional flood frequency estimation in ungauged sites is one of the foremost goals of contemporary hydrology. The flood frequency evaluation for ungauged catchments is usually approached by deriving suitable statistical relationships (models) between flood statistics and basins characteristics. Already, several equations have been presented to estimate the flood frequency in different areas such as Karkheh basin. However, due to the complexity of this phenomenon, the relationships have not been capable to simulate the flood frequency with desired accuracy. Accordingly, in this study, in addition to the regression method has been used in the previous studies, the ANN and ANFIS models are applied.  In fact, these are a type of black box models without any knowledge of processes within the system, in which inputs are converted into outputs (or output). This situation indicates that this type of new models is actually similar to the regression relations, however, there is further flexibility in adjusting the weights and thus can be used as a replacement to multivariate regressions.
