Abstract / Summary:
The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology's research program 'Flood Hydrology' has the overall objective:
To improve methods for estimating flood risk and the reliability offlood forecasting,and advance the understanding of catchment similarity and regional behaviour.
The issues of catchment similarity and regional behaviour are specifically dealt with in CRC Project D2 'Regionalisation and Scaling of Hydrologic Data'.
This report by Bryson Bates from the CSIRO Division of Water Resources represents the first phase of Project D2. It provides a state of the art survey of regionalisation techniques and presents recommendations for further research, some of which will be investigated in the next phase. A review of scaling theory by other researchers within Project D2 will appear as a separate report.
The ultimate aim is to develop and test new methodologies for transferring hydrologic information from small to large areas (scaling) and from one region to another(regionalisation). This report is an important first step in achieving that goal.
