Flow Duration Curve (FDC)
Flow Duration Curve (Adapted from USEPA, 2007)
![Page 4: WEB-BASED LOAD DURATION CURVE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812ac2550346895d8e8fee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Flow Duration Curve (FDC)
Use: Flow patterns variability assessment in historic flow data
Flow Data Source: USGS, modeling, etc.
Analyzing FDC: Hydrologic condition indicator divisions for
FDC depends on the local hydrology and the water quality
issues:
• EPA (2007) recommends five hydrologic zones/categories –
High flows (0-10%)
Moist conditions (10-40%)
Mid-range flows (40-60%)
Dry conditions (60-90%)
Low flows (90-100%)

Load Duration Curve (LDC)
Use: To understand water quality concentration and load
variability for developing TMDLs
Water Quality Data: Federal, State and Educational
institutions, watershed practitioners, etc
Water Quality Standard: EPA, Local Stakeholders
LDC Development:
LDC = Stream flow *water quality target *conversion factor
