Regional Flood Estimation Methods 3AbstractRegional flood estimation methods are very important in the determination of expected flood events and time. This provides a very crucial flood warningsystem that can be used to warn people of the impending danger of floods. These methods provide planners and residents of a region with accurate and reliable information regarding floods and their frequency of occurrences. In this paper, a systematic review of pertinent literature was done to analyze these methods. Most of the literature reviewed was obtained from Google scholar and Google books.

Regional Flood Estimation Methods 4IntroductionFloods are natural disasters that lead to loss of life and destruction of property (Syngellakis, 2016). They might be caused by heavy downpours, poor drainage, or the type of slopes in the area. Therefore floods pose a lot of danger not only to the community but also to human life. Due to this danger, different regional flood estimation methods have been developed with an aim to better predict the occurrence of floods. Without proper planning and management of floods, it can be a disaster, but if managed well, it can only be a hazard. The public and planning departments in government institutions require reliable and accurate estimates of large floods to promote flood risk management structures and policies (Wohl, 2000, p. 334). In this paper different regional planning methods will be analyzed. This will be done via literature analysis of the understanding of different regional flood estimation methods. Most of the papers analyzed are downloaded from Google scholar and other credible sites and will form the basis for this discussion.
