Proposed hydrologic analyses of streamflow for Brazil

The objective of my assignment was to recommend what hydrologic analyses might be made using the records of stream discharge soon to be available at the gaging stations in Brazil. To attain this objective I (1) examined the streamflow records in part of the Rio Jacui basin in the state of Rio Grande do Sul for quality, length of record, and density of areal coverage; (2) locked at the available topographic maps; (3) spent one day in the field visiting gaging stations and observing general hydrologic conditions and (4) examined an isohyetal map of Brazil. The assignment was accomplished May 6-24, 1974.
