In this study, an analysis was undertaken to link significant hydrological variables to a selection of basic catchment characteristics. Long-term discharge records from streams within three relatively well-gauged catchments – Daly (Northern Territory), Fitzroy (Western Australia) and Flinders (Queensland) rivers – were analysed to classify streams into flow regime groupings. Results indicate that the predicted hydrology variables can be used to broadly classify the flow regime of ungauged or data-limited streams within Australia’s wet-dry tropics.
