REGIONALIZATION OF CATCHMENTS BASED ON SILHOUETTE WIDTHS FOR FLOOD RESPONSE ESTIMATION ACROSS SERBIA
Regional analysis is often used for flood quantile estimation in ungauged catchments. The regionalization procedure has two phases: the formation of homogeneous regions and flood quantile estimation. The presented research results consider the first phase of the regional analysis for 41 catchments in Serbia. The catchment similarity attributes are ...
