How much data is needed to run Estimator?
Estimator requires a continuous record of daily discharges, which must cover the time period of the calibration data set (at least those data that are to be used) and the period for which load esimates are desired. The more water quality data, the more precise the load estimates will be. Estimator works well with 25 water quality samples each year, half at high flow and half uniformly distributed over the course of the year (bi-weekly sampling).
