  • Description: The Chixoy River in northern Guatemala exhibits a long‐term dependence of monthly streamflows. A broken line model is developed to simulate the long‐term dependence for the Chixoy River. The method for the determination of parameters for simulation is computationally easy. In addition, an algorithm is developed for preserving the memory of the historical streamflow record, which is operationally useful because if simulations of future streamflow are to be used for purposes of planning and design, such simulations should preserve a memory of the past, if long‐term persistence is assumed to exist. The broken line model is shown to be a useful operational alternative to an autoregressive model.
