Abstract

Monthly hydrographs for 24 Oklahoma streams were analyzed to determine the seasonal adjustments required for application of the for recommending instream flows in Oklahoma. Stream flows were recommended for 30 stream reaches. For use in Oklahoma streams, the Montana method should be modified so that the lower of two recommended base flows apply to the period from July through December, rather than that from October through March. This method should be useful for preliminary instream flow assessments in Oklahoma.
