Intra-annual surface runoff distribution of The Chatkal River in different watery years

Abstract

In planning water reservoirs, it’s significant to understand surface runoff behaviors, especially in medium and small rivers. The article examines water availability results during different watery years of The Chatkal River, which is the biggest left tributary of The Chirchik River. The computation of intra-annual runoff distribution for three different years of watery and for two distinguished periods of watery was carried out. It is derived that independently from the watery of year, 80% of runoff originates in high water period and 20% in the low water period.
