Baseflow in Engineering Hydrology Formulas

Baseflow is the portion of the streamflow that is sustained between precipitation events, fed to streams by delayed pathways. And is denoted by B. Baseflow is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Baseflow is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Baseflow?

Baseflow is the portion of the streamflow that is sustained between precipitation events, fed to streams by delayed pathways. Baseflow is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Baseflow is always positive.

Can the Baseflow be negative?

No, the Baseflow, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Baseflow?

Baseflow is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Baseflow can be measured.
