Abstract:Recession analysis can be used for qualitative comparisons between basins and for quantitative analysis involving the slope and the shape of the recession curve. The groundwater‐level recession hydrograph can be used to derive an estimate of the hydraulic diffusivity of a surficial aquifer. The recession index can be obtained from streamflow data and from a formulation that includes aquifer properties. The analysis of the method reveals nonlinear recession which can result from the down‐valley flow component, … Show more
