Testing for Variance in Mean Annual Storm Water Discharge

A geostatistics report for Testing Variance in mean annual storm water discharge for the Assiniboine River At Headingley, Winnipeg

Objective. Use ANOVA to test for variance in the mean discharges per June day from 2007 to 2016, measured at a single hydrometric station, to determine whether to support or reject the null hypothesis.

Null hypothesis. There is no significant difference between mean annual discharge for each June day in the past decade: implying a change in the methods of storm water management as a non-necessity for the locality.

Alternative hypothesis. At least one June day has a mean discharge that differs significantly from other years in the past decade: implying a change in storm water management as a necessity and potentially warrants the Calrossie-Cockburn project.
