Estimating Flows at Ungaged Stations

In order to select methods for providing estimates of streamflow at ungaged locations on a national scale, this project is testing different methods in different parts of the country. These methods include hydrological rainfall-runoff models, statistical models, and hybrid approaches. Early testing indicates that the statistical models have an edge in estimating daily flow in the Eastern U.S. Hybrid approaches may allow the use of rainfall runoff models in the East and elsewhere and are still being tested. An implementation plan for model development for the country will be developed after testing is complete.
