Title: Monthly Discharge Data from the Global Runoff Data Center (GRDC), Federal Institute of Hydrology, Koblenz, Germany

Description:

Abstract:

"http://grdc.bafg.de/" The Global Runoff Data Center (GRDC), located at the Federal Institute of Hydrology, Koblenz, Germany maintains an archive of daily and monthly discharge data for approximately 3,300 stations in 2,900 river basins (including sub-basins) from 140 countries. Six reports have been published. GRDC disseminates data and additional data products on request. A catalog is produced with updated information, including a standard set of tables, statistics and graphic displays that can be provided to data users for selected stations.
