Consistency Check

The consistency of the discharge data of Arughat station was checked by employing
the Double Mass Curve(DMC) method. First of all the annual average discharge data
for 25 neighboring hydrometric stations (404.7, 406.5, 410, 415, 415.1, 419.1, 420,
428, 430, 430.5, 438, 439.3, 439.7, 439.8, 439.35, 440, 446.8, 447, 448, 449.91,
450, 460, 465, 470, 485) were collected . From this data the specific discharge was
calculated by dividing the annual average discharge by the respective drainage
area. The cumulative annual specific discharge of the neighboring stations was
plotted against the annual specific discharge of Arughat station. The calculated
values and the graph for the obtained from DMC analysis are presented below. As
can be seen from the figure((((())))) , the linear correlation is strong (R 2=.999). This
shows that the data for Arughat station is consistent as compared to the regional
discharge.
