Description :
In this paper, modelled hydrological data are used to quantify the effects of regulation on the flow regime of the lower Murrumbidges River in the period 1970-1988. The comparison of modelled natural and regulated daily flows shows the magnitude of changes to mean and seasonal flows, flood peaks and flow duration. The AA. compared historical regulated data with modelled natural data over a common 29 year period to eliminate the effect of secular climate change on flow data and the daily time-step permitted flood frequency analysis unlike the earlier monthly time-step data.
