The generation of a long series of hydrologic events by use of the statistical parameters based on a short sample has come to be known as synthetic hydrology. In present practice, there are two major deficiencies in the method. There are large errors due to the sampling errors of the original sample, and there is no way to generate a series for an ungaged location. The authors propose a method to correct for these deficiencies.
