Summary
Abstract: Base-flow yields at approximately 50 percent of the annual mean ground-water
recharge rate were estimated for watersheds in the Berkeley County area, W.Va.
These base-flow yields were determined from two sets of discharge measurements
made July 25-28, 2005, and May 4, 2006. Two sections of channel along Opequon
Creek had net flow losses that are expressed as negative base-flow watershed
yields; these and other base-flow watershed yields in the eastern half of the
study area ranged from -940 to 2,280 gallons per day per acre ((gal/d)/acre)
and averaged 395 (gal/d)/acre. The base-flow yields for watersheds in the
western half of the study area ranged from 275 to 482 (gal/d)/acre and averaged
376 (gal/d)/acre.
