MODIFIED FREQUENCY COMPUTATION METHOD FOR OPTIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL FLOWS

ABSTRACT
The paper describes a modified frequency computation method to calculate the optimal environmental flows. This method was used to design monthly environmental flows in Lancang river. The environmental flows calculated by the method are compared with those by the ecological flow method and the Tennant method, revealing its effectiveness.
