Hydrometric network design using streamflow signatures and indicators of hydrologic alteration

This study highlights the impacts that the selected hydrologic characteristics of a basin have on the spatial variability of hydrometric networks. The study was conducted using streamflow monitoring networks in two Canadian basins, specifically in the Hamilton, Halton, Credit Valley basins of Ontario and the Columbia River basin of British Columbia. The Dual Entropy-Multiobjective Optimization (DEMO) model which has been demonstrated to be …
