<br />In principle, the recession (,Ollsh\nt is n ch:lrflcl:cris-
<br />tie oC tho watershed and is indeponuent of tho rainf"ll
<br />"vent. '1'" a rea.~onablo degree, this was observed for
<br />the I3rndford 511bbnsin, tUl evidenced by the COlllputed
<br />recession constnnts summarized in 'I'able 1, 'l'ho reces-
<br />si~n eonst,nnt varied from 24.5 days to 19,5 dnys with
<br />nn averago vnlue, kAva = 33,4 days, Figure 3 ,shows
<br />that recession constants were essentially independent
<br />of rninfnll depth and rainfall duration, which indi-
<br />cntes that the basonow separntioll procedlll'e WaR
<br />ullbiased,
<br />Tbo standard deviation of tho recession constant
<br />distribution is computed according to the eq\lation
