§ 5.6.1.3. Baseflow Method


Latest version.
  • 5.6.1.3.1   None

    For a majority of the perennial streams in San Antonio and its ETJ, the hydrology models will not account for any base flow condition. It is recommended that the design engineer visit the study stream to observe average conditions.

    5.6.1.3.2   Constant Monthly Baseflow

    As defined in the HEC-HMS technical Manual of March 2000 "[the base flow parameter is] best estimated empirically, with measurements of channel flow when storm runoff is not occurring. In the absence of such records, field observation may help establish the average flow&hellipfor most urban channels and for smaller streams in the western and southwestern US, the baseflow contribution may be negligible."
