What is Relationships Between Catchment Attributes And Hydrological Response Characteristics In Small Australian Mountain Ash Catchments about?
Sixteen small catchments in the Maroondah region of Victoria, Australia were analysed using rainfall, temperature and streamflow time series with a rainfall-runoff model whose parameters efficiently characterize the hydrological response of a catchment. A set of catchment attributes for each of these catchments was then compared with the associated set of hydrological response characteristics of the catchments as estimated by the model. The time constant governing quickflow recession of streamflow (TJ was related to the drainage network and catchment area. The time constant governing slowflow recession of streamflow ( T ~) was related to the slope and shape of the catchment. The parameter governing evapotranspirative losses cf ) was related to catchment gradient and vegetative water use. Forestry activities in the catchments changed evapotranspirative losses and thus total volume of streamflow, but did not affect the rate of streamflow recession.
