Аннотация:This study examines the possibility of estimating the surface water discharge of small stream through continuous measuring the river water level at non-artificial cross section site. A comparison was made of the variations or changes in water discharge and water level with the use of data obtained from daily measurements for the Komarovka River at EANET site in Russian Far East. The results proved that, in general, the dependence between the parameters is non-linear while any relationship for the cold period cannot be detected. Furthermore, it was found that for the warm period the dependence parameters shifted (varied) from year to year, which requires additional investigation both to analyze the dynamics of the transverse river profile and the role of other possible factors.
