The Analysis of Long-term Variability and Estimation of the Maximum Water Levels under Conditions of High Anthropogenic Impact for the Amur River

M. V. Bolgov, E. A. Korobkina, N. V. Osipova, and I. A. Filippova

The series of the maximum annual water level in the Amur River are long enough but non-uniform. The need is substantiated in dividing the series of the maximum water level into two uniform periods and in using the certain period (with the duration of more than 35 years) for the subsequent statistical analysis. This is the period which indicates the formation conditions of runoff and maximum water levels including the anthropogenic load (runoff control).
