<![CDATA[Studies of the role of combined vegetation cover and catchment characteristics on base flowcondition are required to address the controversy of correlation between vegetation andhydrological properties. Objectives of the research were: 1) to assess the hydrological role ofvegetation on baseflow condition; and 2) to study the influence of vegetation cover in relationto catchment characteristics on the baseflow. Field survey, digital filter method, remotesensing technique, and statistical analysis were used to derive and assess the correlationamong variables. Results of the research were: 1) a negative significant correlation betweenvegetation cover and baseflow recession coefficient, despite the fact that it is not a singlefactor and related to various catchment characteristics; 2) vegetation cover is not a singlefactor in determining the baseflow characteristics, since it also involves drainage density andinfiltration rate.]]>
