Abstract: The paper investigates the problem of streamflow prediction at
ungauged catchments by the use of the map-correlation method and focuses on
the selection of reference stream gauges to estimate the average daily
streamflow for ungauged catchments. Daily streamflow data are indeed crucial
for several fields such as water management, sustainable water resource
management, hydropower energy production, but the number of ungauged
watersheds is still big and reliable large scale regional approaches are indeed
