Abstract: Meaningful water resources planning requires, among others, spatio-temporal understandings of extreme hydrological events if the severe negative impacts of these extremes are to be managed with gratified socio-economic benefits. Frequency analysis of hydrological events involves systematic interpretation of hydrological data using statistical approach. Geographical Information System (GIS) provides easy data query, search and retrieval operations of spatial processes. Such information is useful while setting criteria for standard water resources production and management system.
