Flow Persistence (FlowPer) Model: Simple Indicator for Watershed Function

A simple indicator of watershed function can help us in assessing the landscape for better management and use. The condition of watershed function can be seen by the way temporal pattern of rainfall get translated into a temporal pattern of stream flow. How the watershed receive and buffer the rain event are influenced by the configuration of land use and land cover. Therefore, an indicator of watershed function must be able to reflect the changes in land use pattern.
