Daily discharge flows are transformed by a recession equation into a dimensionless time series which reflects the storage characteristics of a watershed and also indicates the direct response of a watershed to precipitation. Spectral techniques of time series analysis are employed as an exploratory tool for suggesting different models describing a watershed's response.
