basflödesindex
Basflödesindex, also known as the baseflow index, is a hydrological metric used to quantify the proportion of streamflow that originates from groundwater sources. It is calculated as the ratio of baseflow to total streamflow, typically expressed as a percentage. Baseflow refers to the relatively steady, slow-moving component of streamflow that is sustained by groundwater discharge, while total streamflow includes both baseflow and surface runoff, which is the faster-moving water that occurs during and immediately after rainfall events.
The basflödesindex is an important indicator of the hydrological regime of a watershed. It provides insights
The calculation of the basflödesindex can be done using various methods, including the fixed-interval method, the
The basflödesindex is used in hydrological studies, water resource management, and ecological assessments. It helps in
