Practical Calculation of the Leakance Coefficient to Estimate Seepage in Large-Scale Hydrologic Models: Examples and Graphical Illustrations

Abstract: In most integrated hydrologic models the seepage from the rivers is evaluated from an empirical parameter, the "leakance coefficient", ?, which is estimated by calibration. It is assumed that this parameter remained the same throughout the historic period whether e.g. the flow in the river was high or low...
