• Maximum discharge in 2008 was more than 1977.

According to these results, the proposed question is ''why despite the abundant
rainfall in 1977, the amount of discharge was less than 2008?'' It is assumed that
the land use change and melting of snow as triggering factors are an acceptable
reason which is addressed in Chap. 6 .
