The indicator is based on a statistical analysis of the annual number of low flow days at monitoring stations over the 1974 to 2023 period. It shows the prevalence of very-low flow conditions during the summer (when daily flow values fall outside a threshold of all daily flow values for a monitoring station compared to a 30-year normal period from 1991 to 2020), which may be linked to drought events but does not necessarily represent actual recorded or reported events. Positive values indicate that the number of days with very-low flows over the 1974 to 2023 period have increased, negative values indicate a decrease, and zero values indicate that the number of days have remained the same.
