This report describes the characteristics of low streamflows for the Island of Newfoundland. Equations which may be used to predict the expected low flow of given duration and return period on ungauged streams are then presented.
The characteristics and estimation of low flows are important for water resources engineering and management applications such as estimating available water supply for municipal and industrial uses, determining the waste-water effluent dilution period of a receiving stream and generally for environmental impact studies.
Included below is an Excel spreadsheet that can be used for the calculations and a User's Guide.
