Overview

Compilation of hydrological data reveals historical water dynamics in Southeast Asia, aiding ecological studies.

Key Points

The aim is to compile historical hydrological data to understand long-term trends and support ecological research.
Compiled daily records from 87 streamflow stations, 40 sediment concentration stations, and 118 water level stations from 1958-1987.
Derived 74 hydrological indices to analyze the historical evolution of the rivers.
Data included records from the Irrawaddy, Salween, Mekong, and Red River basins.
Streamflow data available from an average of 23 years across the basins, revealing significant hydrological patterns.
Water level data from 14 to 48 stations varied in length, highlighting regional disparities.
Sediment concentration data less comprehensive, indicating gaps in understanding sediment dynamics.
