FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF STREAMS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN

Low-Flow Sequence

I

The low-flow-sequence tabulations show the lowest mean discharge for
consecutive periods of 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 183, and 274
days in each climatic year. The year beginning April 1 was used for proc-
essing low-flow data because a general flow recession usually begins in
the summer months and may persist through the winter months. If the year
ending September 30 were employed, a single low-flow period might be re-
ported as two separate events.
