Description

This study determines flood magnitudes for the North Saskatchewan River at Edmonton. Both natural and regulated annual maximum flood flows are examined in the assessment of the frequency of occurrence of future flood peak flow rates. Recorded flows and water levels within the North Saskatchewan River basin above Edmonton form the basis of the analyses. Several frequency distributions were applied to the annual flood discharge data and the most applicable distribution was selected. The results of the analyses reflect the most current information and methodologies available to determine flood frequency estimates.
