Abstract

Often the need is felt to schematize a river regime by one single discharge, the Dominant Discharge, and to use this discharge for prediction of changes in a riverstretch as a consequence of riverworks. This article discusses some methods, as given in literature, to determine the Dominant Discharge and gives a way to compute this discharge by means of the hydrodynamic equations.
