| الوصف: | Streamflowpattern and catcbment characteristics are examined in Guyana, a tropical country located on the northeastern part of South America. Only streamflow data of ten major rivers are considered, because long-term records are not available for all the rivers. The catchments are grouped into three hydrologic environments based on rainfall and vegetation. A number of characteristics such as annual variability of flows, seasonal variability of flows, flow duration curves, flood flows and low flows were compared. The study showed that these were variations in hydrologic characteristics between the three environments. It also indicated that apart from rainfall several other factors, particularly geology play key roles in influencing the hydrologic characteristics. In order to study this phenomenon and other hydrologic characteristic particularly floodflow a rigorous data analysis is required. The need for additional hydrologic data for a detailed analysis of streamflow characteristics in a tropical... |
