Probability?
A mathematical basis for prediction, which,
for a huge set of outcome, is the ratio of the
outcomes that will produce a given event to
the total number of possible outcomes,
Background
Variability in rainfall and the resulting
stream flow must be dealt with in
planning and design
We cannot predict future with reliable
degree of certainty Solution is to apply
methods of probability and statistics
Flood probability
Refer to Flood peaks
Must use relevant, adequate and accurate data
R = The data must indicate the problem
A = length of record
A = is the catchment is homogenous for last
10, 50 or 100 years ?
(bunds , dams, Urbanization >> influence the flow
records in various stages)

Annual Floods
For annual floods make the following
assumptions:
The exceedence probability in a given year
doesnt depend on what happened in
previous years
The exceedence probability is constant from
year to year

Example:
Given:
Expected life of Permatang Rawa Bridge = 25 years
Design ARI = 100 years
a) Risk of Hydraulic Design ?
b) What is the percentage of Reliability ?
c) If 10 % risk acceptable, what return period to be
adopted?
