| Description |
Streamflow model of Imo River at Ndimoko was developed using statistical method ofleast squares. High and positive values of coefficient of correlation (r) of 0.953 andcoefficient of determination (r2)) of 0.908 were obtained. The standard error ofestimate (SQ.h) has small value of 1.82 indicating that the regression model fits the data.The model represents the nonlinear relationship between annual maximum discharge andannual maximum stage. The model developed is necessary for the design of dam,estimation of the size of reservoir, water conservation methods, potable water supply,flood estimation, wild life protection and recreational use of water in the locality. In otherwords, this model will play an important role in ensuring that future planning andmanagement of water in a rural area is scientifically based and efficiently made.Recommendations are made that hydrologic modeling be applied in water resourcesplanning, design and management activities for environmental sustainability. Keywords: Maximum Stage, Maximum Discharge, Coefficient of Correlation, Coefficientof Determination, Water Supply.
