The recession flow analysis of Brutsaert and Nieber [1977] extended by Troch et al. [1993] to estimate aquifer parameters (saturated hydraulic conductivity and mean aquifer depth) is examined by means of a numerical model. It is found to be reliable for the estimation of the catchment‐scale saturated hydraulic conductivity and mean aquifer depth. Increasing the complexity of the synthetic watershed had no impact on the accuracy of the estimated parameters.
