Basic provisions of the method of identification of regime parameters of open watercourses under conditions of deficiency of the initial information

A method for identifying operating parameters of open watercourses in the context of a shortage of initial information is proposed, based on the application (in addition to the gravitational theory) of individual provisions of the diffusion theory of suspended water flows and the proposed classification of watercourses, methods for identifying and restoring missing parameters and characteristics, identification algorithms and limitations of the model and method allowing implement the specified method taking into account the expansion of the theoretical and empirical limits of its applicability.
