As a friend of the IAHS, you're invited to read the whitepaper “5 Best Practices for Building Better Stage-Discharge Rating Curves.” Discover how highly effective hydrographers build better stage-discharge rating curves, quickly and efficiently.

The whitepaper is available here in 3 languages: English | Français | Español!

1.    Have a Plan - discover best practices to modernize your quality management system, network design, technology & training.

2.    Understand the Science - gain a clear understanding of current science & engineering principles behind rating curve development.

3.    Systematically Analyze Your Data - use a hydraulics based approach to determine curve shape, slope & deviations.

4.    Manage the Variance - understand & mitigate for sources of variance by adaptively managing your monitoring plan.

5.    Qualify Derived Discharge Results - maintain records of data processing steps, data approval levels & quality grades.

A reliable rating curve is one that is credible, defensible, and minimizes re-work. Renowned hydrology expert Stuart Hamilton shares how you can build the best possible rating curves and gain the highest confidence in your calculations of flow.
