چکیده
The study of Fanta et al. (2001) investigated the variability of annual river flow of the southern African region. The assessment results may be useful for practitioners to improve water resources planning and management in this region in the future. However, the methodology used by the authors is questionable and the objective of the present paper is to point out some drawbacks in that methodology.
