In the case of ABF 2, the mean curve is very closer to the imaginary line. When the amount of
water in the basin is greater than 50%, then all the curves follow the imaginary line. That means
whenever the amount of water in the basin is more than 50%, the flow rate is stable.

In ABF 3, phase 1 and phase 4 curves show inconsistency. While mean curve is very close to
imaginary line, which shows that it, follows our hypothesis.
