This study aims at the estimation of the characteristic values of the peak flows of the ungaged small livers-the An Sung and Sab Gyo rivers-in accordance with the actual characteristic factors of the river basins. The study utilizes a multilinear regression analysis so as to reformulate a useful equation of peak flow calculation in the ungaged river sites. The equation has been reformulated by employing the multi-correlation of the characteristic factors and the point probability floods with a return period,50 and 100 years.
The result of the study involves the following important point. It is found that the analysis of the characteristic factors inthe river basins, especially in the case of the. An Sung and Sab Gyo rivers, can produce more accurate estimates of the characteric values when employed multi-linear regression ana1yses rather than the method of simple linear regression analyses. In me case of the An Sung River, the peak flow can be better estimated by the employment of the multi-correlation of such factors as length(L), slope(S), drainage density(D), and shape factor(F). In the case of the Sab Gyo River, one more factor total length(L)-is added to the multi-conealtion SO as to produce more accurate results.
