Abstract
As part of an assessment of ground-water resources
of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint and the Alabama-
Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACF-ACT) River basins, the U.S
Geological Survey (USGS) used a streamflow-hydrograph
separation method to estimate baseflow. An automated
procedure, based on the recession-curve-displacement
method, was developed to estimate mean-annual baseflow of
67 rivers and streams from the ACF-ACT River basins using
streamflow data. The variability in the estimates of unit-area
mean-annual baseflow, which ranged from 1 to 30 inches per
year, is discussed with respect to characteristics of the
drainage areas.
