Bayesian assessments of design characteristics of the minimum river runoff under nonstationary conditions

An approach to assessing design hydrological characteristics under nonstationary conditions is under consideration. The Bayesian algorithm for assessing prognostic (design) characteristics of the minimum runoff is recommended with a special reference to processing observation data on the river runoff in the Upper Don River basin.     

Spatial and Temporal Variations in the Formation of the Kamennaya Steppe Water Regime

The processes of water regime formation in the catchment areas of deans in the Kamennaya Steppe are studied based on the data of many-year field experiments. Certain regular variations are recognized in the characteristics of the Kamennaya Steppe hydrological and ecological condition and their correlation with anthropogenic and climatic factors is established.
