New model predicts peak floods in South Sulawesi with precision.
The article investigates how the shape of a watershed affects the peak discharge of water. By studying watersheds in South Sulawesi Province, the researchers found that the shape of the watershed has a strong relationship with the peak discharge and time to peak of water flow. They used regression analysis to show that the roundness and size of a watershed can help predict how much water will flow and when it will reach its peak.
