Abstract
Analysis of the frequency of exceedance of low river levels requires the examination of conditional probabilities. A first‐order Markov model is selected as a first approximation of the probability of exceedance of a selected stage for daily maximum water levels. Confidence limits are calculated on this basis.Keywords
