Generation

Baseflow is the sustained, slow-moving portion of streamflow that comes from groundwater seepage into channels, maintaining flow during dry periods. Stormflow (or quickflow) is the rapid, direct runoff component during and immediately after precipitation events, consisting of overland flow and shallow subsurface flow. **Key formula:** Total streamflow Q = Baseflow (Qb) + Stormflow (Qs) Hydrograph separation techniques are used to distinguish these components, with baseflow typically forming the lower, gradual portion of a hydrograph and stormflow creating the peaked response to rainfall.
