Abstract
When watershed input, evatransporation and ground water usage be limitated, recession curve showed storage–output relationship for basin. This relationship can help us in low flow forecasting, decision and management of water resources; hydrological models calibration and etc. In this study recession curve were modelled in Taleghan, Jajrod and Khoramdare rivers. At the first by consideration of annul hydrographs, recession lamb were separated then by doing some pre-processing recession curve get prepared for fitting various models. For each recession eight models were fitted. Result showed that for Jajrod and Talaghan, Barnes, Drogue, Coutagne and Wittenberg had better application, respectively. For Khoramdare river Horton, Barnes and Drogue had better performance with compared to others models. For Barnes model average value of K coefficient for Jajrod 0.97, 0.975 and 0.99, for Taleghan 0.967, 0.974 and 0.987 and for Khoramdare river 0.931, 0.945, 0.972 were obtained.
