Parameter

Dicharge = cubic meter/s

Methods:

- Selection of the measurement site following WMO (2010);

- installation of continuous water pressure recording device (Ecolog500 OTT);

- instantaneous discharge measurements (ADC, OTT Hydromet GmbH) following ISO 1100-2 (2010);

- Construction of yearly rating curve for the station ( 2012: y=1.35*x^1.93 ; 2013: y= 2.77*x^2.01 ; 2014: y= 1.3*x^2.17 where y is the discharge and x water level);

- Conversion or water level to discharge.
