Trend Analysis of Low Flows

Selen Orta

Determination of trends in low flows has a great importance in water resources planning and operation. Hydrological assessment on low flows is required in water quality control problems, water supply projects, irrigation, recreation, and ecological conservation. Trends in low flows could be seen as potential evidences of climate change, and significantly affect short-, medium-, and long-term future decisions. The main objective of this study is to identify low flow trends for gauging stations in four hydrological basins, Meriç-Ergene, Gediz, Ceyhan and Seyhan, from different regions in Turkey. ...Daha fazlası
