Short summary
It is a critical step to gap-fill streamflow data for most hydrological studies, such as streamflow trend, flood, and drought analysis and predictions. However, quantitative evaluation of the gap-filled data accuracy is not available. Here we conducted the first comprehensive study, and found that when the missing data rate is less than 10 %, the gap-filled streamflow data using hydrological models are reliable for annual streamflow and its trend analysis.
