This
database
and
accompanying
report
demonstrate
the
potential
of
combining
observed
river
discharge
information
with
a
climate-driven
Water
Balance
Model
in
order
to
develop
composite
runoff
fields
that
are
consistent
with
observed
discharges.
This
combination
preserves
the
accuracy
of
discharge
measurements
as
well
as
the

and

distribution
of
