摘要

The Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) is a key hydrogeologic feature in southern Ontario, supplying potable water along with important aquatic ecosystem services. Stream baseflow is a useful indicator of groundwater discharge to streams on the ORM and gives insight into the regional hydrogeologic system. This study examines how climatic and basin attributes explain spatiotemporal patterns in baseflow metrics for streams draining the ORM. Baseflow was separated from streamflow using an automated digital filter, and water-year baseflow and baseflow as a fraction of precipitation and total streamflow (baseflow index, BFI) were determined. Much of the variability in baseflow metrics was explained by such characteristics as water-year precipitation, mean basin slope, spatial extent of outcrops of permeable sands and gravels, and forest and urban cover. Identified thresholds for basins with above- or below-average baseflow and BFI could serve as a screening tool in resource management decisions on the ORM. Precipitation has increased for many basins in the latter part of the twentieth and early part of the twenty-first century, often accompanied by greater baseflow. The rate of baseflow increase was related to the spatial extent of sand and gravel outcrops, implying a nonuniform response of baseflow to rising precipitation for basins across the ORM. Although baseflow from these basins may continue to increase under the wetter climate predicted for southern Ontario in the twenty-first century, such forecasts must consider the role of land-use change (e.g. forest expansion, urban development) in altering the partitioning of precipitation between direct runoff and baseflow contributions to streamflow.
