Presented at the ASCE National Meeting on Water Resources Engineering, Memphis, Tennessee, 26-30 January 1970.
14. ABSTRACT
Techniques developed in the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the Corps of Engineers for reconstituting missing portions
of monthly streamflow data are being tested by application in the Pacific coastal area of Peru. To develop the coordinated
set of streamflow records, a base period of fifty years was selected, and missing monthly streamflow data were estimated at
teach of the sixty gaged locations, using regional analysis and correlation with appropriate physical and hydrologic
characteristics. From this complete set of streamflow records, concurrent values for each of the forty remaining ungaged
locations will be estimated. Monthly streamflow quantities are produced to enable the Peruvian government to evaluate
water resources developments along the western coast, and provide information for comparison of alternative schemes of
development.
