Abstract

Summary Differences in mean annual specific discharge of small tributary rivers in the Serayu River Basin can not be explained from differences in annual precipitation and evapotranspiration only. The ratio of actual specific discharge to meteorological specific discharge, i.e. the discharge resulting from the precipitation after subtraction of the evapotranspiration is lower for basins in volcanic rocks than for those in sedimentaries. The hydrological properties of these rock types are used to explain this phenomenon. Larger basins will mostly consist of mixtures of different rock types. As a result larger basins tend to have ratios of actual to meteorological specific discharge between those for basins in volcanic rocks and those in sedimentaries.
