Methodological approaches of the speculation of estimation of statistical parameters of time sequence and their software to hydrology and water engineering, really the sector of reservoir-controlled runoffs, are handled during this quantity. For estimates use is made from random sequences generated for varied chance homes. This methodological technique permits exam of the houses of random and systematic error of the parameters predicted even for the asymmetrical likelihood distributions, that are common in hydrology and water engineering. This publication may be of curiosity to stochastic hydrologists.

Some guidance in dealing with this problem is given in Chapter 7. Attributes: (i) The historical behaviour analysis is a simple procedure and displays clearly the behaviour of the stored water. The behaviour diagram can be readily understood by non-technical people. (ii) The procedure takes into account serial correlation, seasonality and other flow parameters insofar as they are included in the historical flows used in the analysis. (iii) The procedure can be applied to data based on any time interval.
Or 1200 (x 10 6m3). 06 The length of critical drawdown period is given by Eq. 5 years. 4 Gould's Gamma Method This method (Gould, 1964) can be thought of as a modification of Dincer's method (Sec. 3) although it was derived independently. It uses the fact that, while parameters for the Normal distribution are easy to calculate and probability tables for it are readily available, the Gamma distribution usually is a better approximation to the distribution of annual flow data. ribution for the calculations, and then to apply a correction to approximate the Gamma distribution.
5 is known as the This aspect is considered again in Sec. 7. In developing his general solution to the storage-yield problem, Hurst computed than mean K and the storage size to "guarantee" a uniform draft x Bless using a mass curve analysis for records of natural phenomena. 96 [(x_B)/S)2 C/R C required reservoir capacity, R range given by Eq. 6) 1. 05 (x-B)/s s draft parameter which is defined x-B s standard deviation of flow, and x mean flow. 7) as draft (3. S) Examining these relationships using only Hurst's river flow data, Joy (1970) found that the generalized curves were not lines of best fit and that the results exhibited large scatter as shown in Fig.
