A Study of Several Models for Estimating Monthly Streamflow Runoff

Abstract

Three models for estimating monthly streamflow at ungaged points are developed and tested. The first model is based simply on runoff per unit area. The second model is a least squares regression of drainage area versus runoff. The third is an elevation dependent model that is developed using ridge regression techniques. The models were tested on thirty years of monthly streamflow data from eight drainage basins in the upper Green River Basin of the Wind River Range.
