flow duration curve

A flow duration curve (FDC) is a graphical representation used in hydrology to show the percentage of time that flow in a stream or river is likely to equal or exceed a certain value. It is a cumulative frequency curve that helps characterize the variability and availability of water flow over a specified period. The FDC is useful for water resource management, ecological studies, and engineering design, providing insights into flow regimes, drought conditions, and flood risks.
