Expert Solution
Step 1:- Relationship between base flow and direct runoff

While plotting a discharge-Time graph , the base flow is achieved by joining with a straight line  the point representing the beginning of of runoff  to the point on the limb representing the end of surface runoff.

Let us consider the graph below ,

Let 'P' represent the beginning of direct run-off  and let Q represent the point marking the end of direct runoff , then the base flow is represented by the straight line joining P and Q.
