Non-rain-periods and minimum rainfall influenced the base flow of watersheds were defined. The rainfall and runoff data of NO.4 and NO.5 experimental watershed in Lien-Hua-Chi were collected hourly since 1990-1994. In this study, Barnes formula was used to analyze the recession curve of hydrographs influenced by each effective precipitation. We tried to find the correlation between recession constant and rainfall duration. We also investigated the effect of physiographic factors such as vegetation cover, geographic factors and watershed sizes. This study would help to understand the hydrograph of forest watershed reacts on rainfall event and would stress the importance of forest watershed on hydrologic cycle.
