The results of a study on an international river Dudhkumar (shared by Bhutan, India and Bangladesh) analyzing flood frequency of 14 years using Gumbel and Powell distribution have been presented in this paper. Flash flood occurrence over recent years had washed away fields making vulnerable life safety. It was assumed that, Dudhkmar flood flows obey the Gumbel and Powell distribution. The scale and shape parameters of the distribution were estimated using method of moments. . A Chi-square test results (p =1.000) between observed and predicted flood flows which is considered to be not statistically significant by the conventional criteria. Due to goodness of fit of the Gumbel and Powell distribution, it was assumed to be appropriate for modeling frequency of Dudhkumar River floods. However, the magnitudes of the 100, 200 and 1000 year floods were significantly differed in the two mentioned methods.
