Baseflow recession curve

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003846

A graphical representation showing the decline in streamflow over time during periods without precipitation, reflecting the depletion of groundwater storage that contributes to baseflow. This curve is used in hydrology to analyze the characteristics of a watershed's groundwater system and estimate parameters like aquifer storage capacity. It typically exhibits an exponential decay pattern.
