Abstract

An equation relating streamflow regulation or draft to reservoir storage capacity and evaporation is derived for the purpose of examining the potential development of Australia's surface water resources. The procedure is validated using Australian and North American data and is applied to Australian streams. Results are generalized in the form of maps and figures. As a by-product, regional characteristics of the coefficient of variation of annual flows are noted.
