“…An investigation of extreme hydro-meteorological events for the design of hydraulic structures is essential [17]. Historic pre-instrumental records and longest stream flow 2 of 17 time series data have great significance in the design of hydraulic structures, namely, dams, bridges, and culverts [18].…”

The September 1973 flood in the Mahi Basin was one of the most catastrophic and widespread in the 20th century. However, the hydro-meteorological characteristics of the 1973 flood were not studied. Therefore, an attempt has been made to analyze the meteorological and hydrological processes that led to the 1973 flood. Accordingly, daily rainfall data, river discharge, and cross-section data were obtained for the analysis. The 1973 flood was associated with very heavy rainfall resulting from two successive low-pressure systems (LPS) from 26 to 31 August 1973 and 2 to 5 September 1973. The rainfall variability in the Mahi Basin was 24% (annual) and 25% (monsoon) in 1973. The analysis showed that out of 69 rainfall stations, 13 stations received 100% rainfall in the monsoon season in 1973. Under the influence of the second LPS (7 and 9 September 1973), 21 rain gauge stations recorded very heavy rainfall (124.5–244.4 mm) on 8 September. As a result, the maximum discharge of the Mahi River (40,663 m3/s) was observed at Wanakbori on 9 September. The flood hydrograph denoted two flood peaks of 28,125 m3/s and 33,097 m3/s magnitudes resulting from LPS at Kadana. A newly constructed bridge (in 1972) on the Mahi River at the Kailashpuri village washed out due to a large discharge of 21,553 m3/s magnitude on 7 September 1973. The hydro-meteorological analysis of the 1973 flood specified the significance of the LPS in a flash flood disaster in the Mahi Basin. This study will benefit hydrologists and civil engineers creating design floods for the construction of the hydraulic structures in the Mahi Basin, and will help to avoid any future catastrophic floods.

“…At-site FFA is the utmost direct approximation of design flood amongst numerous FFA techniques [ 25 ]. The precision of an estimated magnitude and return period significantly governed by the availability of continuous and long-term observed peak discharge data [ 26 , 27 ]. However, short annual peak discharge archives are the main limitations of the FFA [ [28] , [29] , [30] ].…”

“…Pekarova et al [ 48 ] recommend the LP-III as the most suitable distribution for FFA of the Danube River at Bratislava, Slovakia. In India, many investigators have used the GEVI and LP-III distributions for the FFA of monsoon-dominated rivers such as the Tapi River [ 49 ], Mahi River [ 32 ], Jhelum River [ 50 ], Rapti River [ 51 ], Narmada River [ 27 ], and the Krishna River [ 52 ].…”

“…When compared to light-tailed distributions, their results showed that heavy-tailed distributions offer a more precise estimate of the maximum daily rainfall values. In another study, two types of distributions, namely Gumbel extreme value type-I and Log Pearson type-III, were applied to model the magnitude and frequency of food events in Narmada River, India [26]. In another research, three different probability distributions were employed for modeling the peak discharge of the Jhelum River [27].…”

The quest for energy efficiency in buildings has placed a demand for designing and modeling energy-efficient buildings. In this study, the thermal energy performance of a tropically adapted passive building was investigated in the warm tropical climate of Malaysia. Two mock-up buildings were built to represent a “green”, made of clay brick double-glazed passive building and a conventional, made of concrete “red” building. The mean indoor temperature of the passive building was found to be always lower than that of the red building throughout the experiment during different weather constellations. Our research builds upon existing work in the field by combining multiple linear regression models and distribution models to provide a comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting the indoor temperature of a building. The results from the fitted multiple linear regression models indicate that walls and windows are critical components that considerably influence the indoor temperature of both passive buildings and red buildings, with the exception of passive buildings during the hot season, where the roof has a greater influence than the window. Furthermore, the goodness-of-fit test results of the mean indoor temperature revealed that the Fréchet and Logistic probability models fitted the experimental data in both cold and hot seasons. It is intended that the findings of this study would help tropical countries to devise comfortable, cost-effective passive buildings that are green and energy efficient to mitigate global warming.
