Description about the report/ manual

WMO-No. 1029, published in 2008

The manual provides current knowledge about the analytical methods to predict low flows. Such predictions are useful for water resources planning and water resources management.

The manual contains information about the following aspects:
1. Introduction
2. Estimating, predicting and forecasting low flows
3. Hydrological data
4. Processes and regimes
5. Low flow indices
6. The flow=duration curve
7. Extreme value analysis
8. Stream-flow deficit
9.Estimating low flows at un-gauged sites
10. Estimating low flows in artificially influenced rivers
11. Low-flow forecasting
12. Case studies
13. Recommendations and conclusions
