“…In hydrograph separation analysis, the two-component model was widely used to compute the contributions of different components of river water. Mortathi et al (1997) reported that the average surface runoff and baseflow (pre-event) contributions were 30.3% and 69.7%, respectively, in the Amazon River. Kendall (1993) believed that surface water and subsurface water contributions were 38% and 62%, respectively, in northeastern China, based on stable isotope oxygen data.…”
