Mountain river dominant formative discharge evaluation (through example of the Upper Tisa basin)

Based on the comparative analysis of the two most commonly used techniques for the definition of dominant
formative discharge for the Upper Tisa river, it has been established that technique by M.I. Makkaveyev can be used provided
the availability of fixed-term discharge measurements or by means of the transition regional factors. Transition
figure between the average daily rate and fixed-term discharge is recommended, which provides an opportunity to obtain
reliable values of the dominant formative discharge in the full range of flow intensity change with low error (less than
10%).
