Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products for determining an accurate flow rate based on limited observations are provided. Aspects include receiving a limited sample of flow rate data associated with a test site of a test river. Aspects also include determining topographical characteristics of the test site. Aspects also include determining a plurality of similar tested sites and generating a test site rating curve based on a combination of the limited sample of flow rate data and sufficient flow rate data associated with one or more of the plurality of similar tested sites. Aspects also include obtaining a stage reading associated with the test site from a sensor disposed at the test site. Aspects also include determining a flow rate of the test site based on the stage reading and the test site rating curve.
