Working on discharge and peak flow for hydrology. I did some data analysis and need to know what is going on with these rivers. I am confused by   Average depth of runoff produced across the basin (meters/yr) vs How many times bigger a typical flood is than baseflow, a measure of flashiness and what is going on
