To determine the appropriate ecological flow for small watershed assessment, taking Qingshui River in Pearl River Basin as an example, the monthly ecological flow was calculated by using six hydrological methods such as Tennant method, Texas method and frequency curve method. Furthermore, combined with hydrological rhythm and ecological flow guarantee rate, the advantages and disadvantages of the six methods were compared and analyzed in the dry and flood periods, and the most suitable ecological flow calculation method for small watershed was obtained to determine the ecological flow. The results show that the ecological flow of Hongqi Reservoir section is between 0.12-1.52 m3/s, and the ecological flow of Puzhehei section is between 0.30-4.95 m3/s. The fitting coefficients of hydrological rhythm are 0.993 and 0.998, respectively. The ecological flow guarantee rate is at a good level, and the ecological flow selection result is reasonable. The results can provide a reference for similar national small watersheds to select appropriate calculation method to determine the ecological flow.
