Abstract
Statistical analysis of annual river flows in the United States, some European countries and southern Australia, in latitudes higher than 34○ N or S indicates a useful significant relationship between the standard deviation of the logarithms of inches depth of annual runoff from a river catchment and the geometric mean annual runoff depth. For the separate zones, equations and tables are given for the evaluation of probabilities of annual flow of a river from its estimated geometric mean depth of annual runoff and these can be used where records are inadequate or as a check on other methods. The logarithmic distribution was found to be appropriate for statistical analysis, with a general trend towards slight negative skewness. Tests of a small sample suggest that dry season flows may follow a similar pattern to that of the annual flows.
