<strong>The</strong> <strong>Kumaraswamy</strong> <strong>distribution</strong> does not seem to be very familiar to statisticians. <strong>The</strong><br />
best example <strong>of</strong> an application <strong>of</strong> the Kum <strong>distribution</strong> is the model <strong>of</strong> the storage volume<br />
<strong>of</strong> reservoir, see Fletcher and Ponnambalam (1996).<br />
In hydrology, it has been received considerable interest see, for example, Ponnambalam et<br />
al. (2001) and Ganji et al. (2006). According to Nadarajah (2008), many papers in the<br />
hydrological literature have used this <strong>distribution</strong> because it is deemed as a “better<br />
alternative” to the beta <strong>distribution</strong>, Koutsoyiannis and Xanthopoulos (1989).<br />
