An empirical-stochastic, event-based program for simulating inflow from a tributary network

摘要: A stochastic streamflow program was developed to simulate inflow to a large river from a network of gauged tributaries. The program uses historical streamflow data from major tributary gauges near their confluence with the main stem and combines them stochastically to represent spatial and temporal patterns in flood events. It incorporates seasonality, event basis, and correlation in flood occurrence and flood peak magnitude between basins. The program produces synchronous
