Records of annual flooding, its magnitude and possible causes are studied. It is shown from rainfall and stage-discharge analysis that the time of occurrence of peak floods for different years is commonly during the end of July. Analysis of the annual peak discharge data at Ghugumari helps to predict the probable maximum magnitude of flood that may occur. The maximum design flood discharge is also computed empirically by Dicken's formula. A comparative picture of peak probable flood discharges for different years computed by different methods is also furnished. -from Author
