Please cite this article in press as: Lima, C.H.R., annual maximum and monthly streamflow. J. H Several studies have shown that statistics of streamflow time series, in particular empirical moments, scale with physical properties of the drainage basin, such as the catchment area. Those scaling laws have been extensively used to estimate statistics of streamflow series at ungauged sites. The rol...

Abstract The present work aims to identify the best hydrological model structure suitable for Lower Godavari River Basin, India, that forecasts streamflows. An extended version of Framework Understanding Structural Errors (FUSE), termed E-FUSE, is developed this purpose. It consists 1248 structures. K means cluster analysis (KCA), and Davies Bouldin Cluster Validation Index (DBCVI) are used ide...
