Abstract: The applicability of probability models to time series representing minimum and maximum daily flow rates were tested for Itabapoana River in Brazil. The series represents data from 1968 to 2007, 40 year period. The distribution adequacy was verified using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and chi-square tests. For maximum flow rates, the statistical distribution best fitted were 2 and 3 parameters log-normal. For minimum flow rates, the best fitting were obtained through Weibull and Gama functions. Using these fittings, the maximum and minimum flow rates could be estimated with high confidence for Itabapoana river.
