چکیده

Abstract. Water resource management (WRM) practices, such as groundwater and surface water abstractions effluent discharges, may impact baseflow. Here the CAMELS-GB large-sample hydrology dataset is used to assess impacts of practices on Baseflow Index (BFI) using statistical models 429 catchments from Great Britain. Two complementary modelling schemes, multiple linear regression (LR) machine learning (random forests, RF), are investigate relationship between BFI two sets covariates (natural only a combined set natural WRM covariates). The LR RF show good agreement explanatory covariates. In all models, extent fractured aquifers, clay soils, non-aquifers, crop cover in catchments, catchment topography, aridity significant or important explaining BFI. When terms included, abstraction most covariate both discharge rivers also identified influential, although still provide main power models. Surface model but minor importance model.

Regression Modeling of Baseflow and Baseflow Index for Michigan USA

Baseflow plays an important role in maintaining streamflow. Seventeen gauged watersheds and their characteristics were used to develop regression models for annual baseflow and baseflow index (BFI) estimation in Michigan. Baseflow was estimated from daily streamflow records using the two-parameter recursive digital filter method for baseflow separation of the Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool ...
