Assessment of best-fit probability distributions for streamflow across Indian river basins using multi-temporal data

Key Points

• Streamflow distribution patterns vary significantly across different river basins in India, indicating unique hydrological characteristics.
• The assessment suggests using multi-temporal data to improve the accuracy of hydrological predictions for these basins.
• Evaluation of probability distributions reveals optimal fits that enhance understanding of river flow behaviors.
• These findings highlight the need for tailored models in hydrological assessments to guide water resource management.
