Abstract: A methodology for assessing the ecological flow of unobserved rivers according to monthly distribution is presented based on the methodology of restoring the natural discharges of hydrological observation stations. The proposed method of ecological flow assessment has been tested on the example of Arpa-Jermuk hydrological observation station and can be applied for the other rivers of the RA territory.

Keywords: ecological flow, water intake, actual flow, natural flow, flow module, hydrograph.
