Abstract
The article begins a discussion on the validity of applying methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics in hydrology calculations. The methodology of river flow calculations nowadays is based on the statistical processing of observation datas. These methods are specified in prescriptive documents (such as SR 33-101-2003) and, in fact, are required for using in engineering calculations. Any other alternative methods are not advisable. However, our experience of using probabilistic-statistical methods in engineering-hydrometeorological surveys let us to doubt the propriety of such application. It is questionable whether the concept of a random variable is applied to hydrological characteristics, in particular, to water consumption. In terms of mathematics, the sample input data subsequently used in solving statistical problem is the result of an experiment conducted under unaltered conditions. Water consumption depends on ...
