Study on the influence of water-rock interaction on streamflow conductivity based on hydrograph separation

摘要

The conductivity of the streamflow is controlled by the content of the dissolved components, which mainly come from the water-rock interaction of the baseflow. This paper showed that the conductivity sequence controlled by water-rock interaction in the runoff process can be screened out by the two-parameter recursive filter method. The analysis of the streamflow and conductivity series of USGS gauge numbered 02298202 from October 2005 to October 2009 showed that the water-rock interaction controls the conductivity characteristics of the stage of streamflow recession. And with the increase of water-rock interaction time (T), the conductivity of the streamflow increases in a power function, which satisfies the equation C = 252.92T~(0.262).
