Abstract
In this research, statistical work in stochastic modelling of hydrologic time series
is discussed. The theme is the comparison of stationarity and non-stationarity approaches
for stochastic simulation of monthly streamflow sequences. The paper first introduces
various concepts related to stochastic modelling; the history of stochastic simulation and
applications of stochastic modelling in hydrology; and the step-by-step modelling
procedures. Then the paper describes how synthetic streamflow sequences can be generated
using these procedures. As a particular case, synthetic streamflow sequences were generated
for two streams in Ethiopia using both stationarity and non-stationarity approaches. At last,
based on these synthetic flows, an attempt was made to compare the performance of the
two approaches with some comments and recommendations
