This study is motivated by the fact that natural basins share some striking similarities in their basic organization as well as in the way they respond to rainfall input. The central objective here is thus to link the patterns observed in morphology of basins with the patterns that we observe in their hydrologic responses. This study particularly attempts to uncover hidden links between basin morphology and recession curves through a simple conceptual model describing dynamics of saturated channel network or active drainage network (ADN). Analysis of recession curves is performed by following the framework proposed in the paper by Brutsaert and Neiber, i. e. to interpret –dQ/dt as having a power law relationship with Q (-dQ/dt = kQα), whe...
