“…In figure 3 the data are plotted in a frequency curve to see whether it looks roughly like a normal curve. Furthermore the data of the mound-shaped curve of figure 3 can be replotted, as it was done on figure 2, in order to see if it assumes the typical S-shape curve indicating that the data are normally distributed. Yet the S-shape curve indicates only that the original frequency distribution was mound-shaped, and not necessarily that it was normally distributed.…”

The available rainfall and runoff data from a given watershed and stream are usually of a limited number of years. The necessity and importance of extrapolating the given data for hydrological uses are obvious. In this paper, the runoff data from the Nestos River in Greece were used in order to obtain extreme values of runoff together with their corresponding frequencies and probabilities of occurence. The applied frequency analysis method is that of the normal frequency distribution method which is widely used in Statistics. It is shown that the available analytical criteria are sufficient to permit such treatment of the runoff data which show relatively small skew.
