The dataset contains statistical calculations of the minimum monthly flow rate (QMNA) for rivers over five-year periods. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated on March 27, 2019. The data likely enables the assessment of low-flow conditions in watercourses.
Use Cases
- Assess water scarcity and drought risk based on low-flow statistics.
- Model hydrological regimes using calculated minimum monthly flow rates.
- Support water resource management and policy planning based on statistical flow assessments.
Strengths
- Data is provided by a recognized geological and mining research bureau (BRGM).
- Last update date is explicitly stated as 2019-03-27.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
