Abstract: Abstract The principal aim of time series analysis is to describe the history of movement in time of some variable such as the rate of flow in a river at a particular site. River flow and other hydrological sequences are characterised by variability and oscillatory behaviour. This highlights the importance of studying time series, the properties of which are of great significance in the planning, designing and operation of water resource systems. The subject is a prerequisite to the stochastic models described in chapters 4 and 5.
