This paper examines difficulties associated with river level records in some areas in Kenya where pronounced diurnal variation in rainfall patterns occur; in such cases once or twice per day observations are inadequate for determining water resources availability for project planning. The paper is structured in the chronological order in which a problem relating to anomalous flow records was discerned, explained and then noted and acted upon in a series of independent consultancy studies between 1988 and 1993.Citation DetailsTitle: Diurnal river flow variations and development planning in the tropics.Author: A.S.
