Generation

**Baseflow** is the sustained, slow discharge to streams from groundwater and delayed subsurface sources between precipitation events, while **stormflow** is the rapid runoff generated during and immediately after rainfall or snowmelt events. This distinction matters because baseflow maintains stream ecosystems during dry periods and indicates watershed health, whereas stormflow drives flood peaks, erosion, and pollutant transport. Understanding their relative contributions is critical for water resource management, flood prediction, and assessing how land use changes affect both water availability and water quality.
