چکیده
knowledge about low flow statistics is essential for effective water resource planning and management in ungauged orpoorly gauged catchment areas, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as iran. we employed a data set of 20 riverflow time-series from the iranian central plateau river basin, iran to evaluate the low-flow series using several frequencyanalysis methods and compared the result of these methods in their ability to set low flows for the conservation ofinstream water uses. theoretical frequency distributions including the log-normal, three-parameter lognormal, gumbel,pearson type iii, and log pearson type iii were applied with the low-flow series. goodness-of-fit tests including lmomentand conventional moment methods for the observed data were applied to identify the best distributions. for eachdistribution, the calculated values of the residual sum of squares (rss) was applied to compare between the conventionalmoment and l-moment methods, and the best method was selected to determine the most appropriate probabilitydistribution. the lowest rss values were used to select the best distribution for each station. then, t-year low-flow serieswas estimated using the best probability distribution. our results suggested that, for annual low flows, based on thecomputed rss, pearson type iii, log pearson type iii, gumbel distributions, and l-moment method were suitablydistinguished for 85%, 10%, and 5% of the stations, respectively. finally, compared to the conventional moment method,l-moments method was found to be more adequate to identify low-flow series probability distributions in the iraniancentral plateau river basin, while pearson type iii was found to be the best probability distribution for modelingminimum flow series in the study area.

متن کاملRegional analysis of low flow using L-moments for Dongjiang basin, South China
Dongjiang water has been the key source of water supplies for Hong Kong and its neighbouring cities in the Pearl River Delta in South China since the mid-1960s. Rapid economic development and population growth in this region have caused serious concerns over the adequacy of the quantity and quality of water withdrawn from the Dongjiang River in the future. Information on the magnitude and frequ...

Ecological vulnerability analysis: a river basin case study.
Assessing and quantifying ecosystem vulnerability is a key issue in site-specific ecotoxicological risk assessment. In this paper, the concept of vulnerability, particularly referred to aquatic ecosystems is defined. Sensitivity to stressors, susceptibility for exposure and recovery capability are described as component of vulnerability of biological communities. The potential for habitat chang...
