Abstract


River flow recession analysis plays a crucial role in understanding how watersheds release water during dry periods. Consequently, modeling baseflow recession is closely related to the characteristics of unconfined aquifers, storage behavior, and the discharge properties of the watershed. While several theories exist on modeling recession curves, limited research has compared different approaches regarding baseflow recession characteristics. This study aims to model seven baseflow recession equations in paired watersheds in Ambon City. The research methodology involves calibrating seven baseflow recession models using the Recession Curve (RC) 4.0 Hydro Office software. The tested models include Linear Reservoir, Exponential Reservoir, Double Exponential Horton, Dupuit-Boussinesq Aquifer Storage, Depression Storage, Turbulent Flow Model, and Hyperbolic Function Model. The calibration results yield optimal combinations of recession parameters. The parameterization order from highest to lowest is as follows: Depression Storage, followed by the Hyperbolic Function, Exponential Reservoir, Turbulent Flow Model, Double Exponential Horton, Linear Reservoir, and Dupuit-Boussinesq Aquifer Storage. Quantifying baseflow recession constants and coefficients is essential for understanding baseflow behavior. Visualizing the slope of the Recession Curve (MRC) reveals that models with high recession constants tend to have gradual MRCs, while low recession constants result in steep MRCs. The MRC slope further describes the relationship between storage conditions and discharge from the watershed. The advantage of creating MRCs from discontinuous recession segments lies in their ability to appropriately describe the MRC process and provide quantitative parameters relevant to drainage mechanisms. MRCs also serve as an optimal automated computational tool.
