evaluation of base flow separation methods based on recession analysis
Authors
abstract
hydrograph analysis is a complex problem in a variety of water resources investigations and its estimate is critical in the assessment of low flow characteristics of river for use in water supply, water management and pollution assessment. the paper describes different methods of base flow separation based recession analysis from daily river flow records and distinguishes the most suitable method in some hydrometric stations of azarbaijan province. an automated base flow separation with different parameters âwith different parameters of 0.9 to 0.975- and local minimum techniques has been tested against correlation method of master recession curve with base flow index. unnecessary of calibration in this algorithms is made easy to use them and finally, use of digital filter with the parameter set to 0.925 was found to be a most accurate method of base flow separation in study region. also, recession constants have fluctuations between 0.65 to 0.83 which reveal role of ground water and base flow in river recharging. continuous investigations of daily flow data in long term duration is another benefit of this algorithm that can be used for leaching control and pollutions entry into soil in environmental plannings.

Heuristic Continuous Base Flow Separation
A digital filtering algorithm for continuous base flow separation is compared to physically based simulations of base flow. It is shown that the digital filter gives comparable results to model simulations in terms of the multiyear base flow index when a filter coefficient is used that replicates the watershed-specific time delay of model simulations. This way, the application of the heuristic ...

[1] The base flow recession constant, Kb, is used to characterize the interaction of groundwater and surface water systems. Estimation of Kb is critical in many studies including rainfall-runoff modeling, estimation of low flow statistics at ungaged locations, and base flow separation methods. The performance of several estimators of Kb are compared, including several new approaches which accou...
