Abstract
ABSTRACTRelatively little work has been done using streamflow data as a means of estimating hydrologic parameters such as transmissivity and storativity. An approach to this problem utilizing the physical insight offered by electric analog modeling techniques has been developed with streamflow data from two small drainage basins in northwest Virginia. Streamflow modeling has produced regional estimates of the ratio of transmissivity to storativity, and results from each region indicate this ratio to be larger than expected. This discrepancy is resolved by assuming that the drainage basins contain only a small percentage of permeable rock, and this assumption suggests a further use of the model to estimate the percent of permeable rock in a watershed. The analog approach presented here shows potential for further development using digital computer methods.
