Abstract The impact of climate changes on flood peaks was the subject of several
studies. However, a flood is not characterized only by its peak but also by the time,
duration of the tip, as well as the rise time and shape of the flood hydrograph
according to geographical distribution, leading to an understanding of these extreme
hydrological hydrographs and to detect areas vulnerable to flood hazards. The flood-
duration-frequency observed rate of chronic Q(t) provides a theoretical multi-term
flood quantiles description, directly meeting the needs of an integrated hydrological
hydraulic modeling of the catchment. This article describes a statistical approach that
aims to characterize the river in flood hydrology taking into account the notion of
duration “d” and the return period “T.” We realize that samplings were carried out
for flood flows of 04 gauging stations in the watershed of the middle Cheliff, which
reveal a higher value than the threshold. For this analysis, F-d-F was requested to
define synthetic mono-frequency hydrographs (SMFH).
