In jlthomps/EflowStats: Returns HIT/HAT Hydrologic Indicator stats for a given set of data

#' Function to return the DL10 hydrologic indicator statistic for a given data frame
#' 
#' This function accepts a data frame that contains a column named "discharge" and 
#' calculates the variability of the annual minimum 90-day average flows for the entire record
#' 
#' @param qfiletempf data frame containing a "discharge" column containing daily flow values
#' @return dl10 numeric containing the variability of the annual minimum 90-day average flows for the given data frame
#' @export
#' @examples
#' load_data<-paste(system.file(package="HITHATStats"),"/data/obs_data.csv",sep="")
#' qfiletempf<-read.csv(load_data)
#' dl10(qfiletempf)
