A MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL MODEL FOR PREDICTING MEAN ANNUAL FLOOD IN NEW ENGLAND1

QUANTITATIVE geomorphology has made rapid strides in recent years. During the last decade considerable literature has been added to the field. Old concepts of hydrologic analysis have been revised,2 new concepts have evolved in landform studies,3 and new techniques have been developed to aid in the quantitative evaluation of empirical work.4 In addition to these, new insights to fluvial morphology have been gained by the application of the physical laws of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.5
