| "PUB studies require an accurate hydrological data set of rainfall and discharge either to find standard parameters or to verify non-parameter fitting models. However, ironically river basins with a good gauge network have usually been developed and therefore flows are almost always altered. A hydrological model cannot predict such arbitrary changes. The Public Works Research Institute of Japan has developed a data set for PUB studies by compiling rainfall data and reconstructing natural flows for the Agatsuma River basin, a tributary of the Tone River in Japan. The data set will be opened up for researchers. Flow data are almost always affected by withdrawals and returns." |
