“…In such cases where data is scarce or unavailable, the hydrologists have developed models and techniques which do not require the availability of long time series of meteorological and hydrological observations (Loukas and Vasiliades, 2014;Blöschl et al, 2013;Botero and Francés, 2010;Nag and Biswal, 2019;Post, 2004). Depending on whether flow hydrographs, statistics or quantiles are the required outputs, several methods can be used including rainfall-runoff modelling using global parameters transfer, quantile estimation from empirical methods and time series summaries from flow duration curves (FDC) regional equation (Swain and Patra, 2017;Valimba, 2016;Loukas and Vasiliades, 2014). They fall into either statistical, hydrological modelling or stochastic modelling methods (Loukas and Vasiliades, 2014) and more often employed simultaneously.…”
