Recalculation of historical streamflow series. Impact assessment and valorization

Rating curves used to calculate discharge from water level must be extrapolated beyond the range of measured discharges, due to the difficulty of measuring flood discharge. This induces large uncertainties and the flood discharge series can be unreliable. This paper presents a methodology to update...
