Estimating low flow characteristics in ungauged catchments

Abstract

This paper describes the development and derivation of a methodology for estimating low flow characteristics and yield in small ungauged rural catchments. The methodology has been applied to 184 catchments located in New South Wales and Victoria, in south-eastern Australia. A systems approach was adopted in which multivariate techniques were used to develop relationships between low flow parameters and climatic and land information data. © 1992 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
