Abstract
Water discharge is the main quantitative characteristic of river water runoff, which is directly measured at the hydrological stations, in contrast to other runoff characteristics that flow from it.
The study of the total potential of hydropower, which involves the allocation of characteristic sections of rivers by the subdivision method, includes one of the intermediate steps - determine the average water discharge for these sections using existing water runoff maps. Thus, the determined data allowed us to estimate changes in the water flow distribution of rivers downstream and to create a map based on the results of the study.
To assess the reliability of the created map, a comparative assessment was conducted between water discharge for characteristic sections of rivers: determined by the map and the actual values determined by long-term data of hydrological stations located within these sections.
As the studied basin is transboundary, so with the help of the obtained results, it is possible to estimate the water flow for the sections of rivers near the border, where there are no stationary observations at the hydrological stations.
