About this document

Understanding Runoff in Hydrology by nimcan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses runoff, which is the portion of precipitation that appears as streamflow. It defines the components of runoff as surface runoff, subsurface runoff, and groundwater runoff. A diagram shows how precipitation is transformed through various processes into total runoff. Methods for separating direct runoff from baseflow in a hydrograph are described, including the straight line method and fixed base method.
