Baseflow estimation in typical catchments in the Yellow River Basin, China

Baseflow is crucial to maintaining river flow during low-rainfall periods. The baseflow estimation is important to water supply and ecological environmental protection in the Yellow River Basin (YRB), China. This paper comprehensively assessed the applicability of four single-parameter digital filte...
