| Abstract: | Baseflow is an important component of river or streamflow.It plays a vital role in water utilization and management.An improved Eckhardt recursive digital filter (IERDF) is proposed in this study.The key filter parameter and maximum baseflow index (BFIrnax) were estimated using the minimum smoothing method to improve baseflow estimation accuracy.The generally considered BFImax of 0.80,0.50 and 0.25 according to the drainage basin's predominant geological characteristics often leads to significant errors in the regions that have complex subsurface and hydrologic conditions.The IERDF improved baseflow estima-tion accuracy by avoiding arbitrary parameter values.The proposed method was applied for baseflow separation in the upstream of Yitong River,a tributary of the Second Songhua River,and its performance was evaluated by comparing the results obtained using isotope-tracer data.The performance of IERDF was also compared with nine baseflow separation tech-niques belonging to filter,BFI and HYSEP methods.The IERDF was also applied for baseflow separation and calculation of rainfall infiltration recharge coefficient at different locations along the Second Songhua River's mainstream for the period 2000-2016.The results showed that the minimum smoothing method significantly improved BFImax estimation accu-racy.The baseflow process line obtained using IEDRF method was consistent with that ob-tained using isotope 18O.The IERDF estimated baseflow also showed stability and reliability when applied in the mainstream of the Second Songhua River.The BFI alone in the river showed an increase from the upstream to the downstream.The proportion of baseflow to total flow showed a decrease with time.The intra-annual variability of BFI was different at different locations of the river due to varying climatic conditions and subsurface characteristics.Thehighest BFI was observed at the middle reaches of the river in summer due to a water surplus from power generation.The research provided valuable information on baseflow characteris-tics and runoff mode determination,which can be used for water resources assessment and optimization of economic activity distribution in the region. |
