Abstract | Potentialities of using the base flow depletion curves as a parameter in streamflow forecasting are presented, especially for predicting fall and winter flows. Five factors are listed that are related to fluctuations in streamflow. Procedures for separating the hydrograph into its component parts are shown, particularly the recession limb. Procedures for constructing the base flow depletion curve are illustrated. |
