Nonlinear response of a small drainage basin model

A study of four nested drainage basins has been used to measure relations between lag time, stream order, and network magnitude for basins within a larger watershed. Solution of the stream order laws produced a relation between lag time and drainage area which had the same form as the relations developed between different watersheds. A relation between lag time and drainage area was used to allocate storage parameters to the elements of a storage-routing model based on the stream channel rletwork. When it was applied to the most probable stream networks for a given channel magnitude, the model was shown to reproduce relations between lag time and stream order, channel magnitude, and drainage area, having the same form as was observed for the actual drainage basins used in the study.
