Article 6C for planning purposes

Under Article 6C, during the flood season for planning purposes, the average daily peak flow during the flood season  (July-October) of the simulated baseline flow regime (1986-2000) at each of the selected hydrological stations (exclude Kampong Luong and Prek Kdam stations) is to be compared data derived from the Baseline Scenario. A scenario would NOT be deemed acceptable for planning purposes if one or more simulated daily peak flows in the flood season at one or more hydrological stations are above these thresholds.
