Question: ( 7 ) Listed below are the annual maximum instantaneous discharge values recorded for Thompson River near Spences Bridge ( WSC 0 8 LF 0

(7) Listed below are the annual maximum instantaneous discharge values
recorded for Thompson River near Spences Bridge (WSC 08LF051). The
drainage area of Thompson River at this gauging station is approximately
54900km2. Using the Gumbel paper provided, construct a graph to
illustrate the relation between the magnitude and frequency of flood events.
Source: Environment Canada, Historical Streamflow Summary, 1990.
(3) Determine the magnitude of the mean annual flood (Q2.33), bankfull
discharge (Q1.58) and the 100-year flood (Q100).
(2) All discharge measurements include measurement errors. The error
associated with measurements of discharge is commonly assessed as +-5
% of the actual discharge value. Calculate the error term of the smallest
and largest discharge values in the data series and then the corresponding
range (i.e. lower and upper limits) in which the actual discharge may be
found.
( 7 ) Listed below are the annual maximum
