1939-48, the daily mean flow of Bowie Creek (fig. 1) was at leas4; 144 cubic feet per second during 90 percent of the time. The flow-duration curve is the integral of the frequency diagram. Perhaps a simpler concept of the flow-duration curve is that it is another means of representing streamflow data combining in one ...
