Figure 4. Orange bars show the histogram of the annual peak flows shown in Figure 3 for the Lehigh River. Grey dashed line is a theoretical distribution (a probability density function, or PDF) approximating the complete distribution represented by the histogram of historical data. The PDF can be used to make predictions of flood frequency.
