AI-generated Abstract

This commentary discusses the findings of Berger and Entekhabi (2001), which highlighted relationships between hydrologic responses (evapotranspiration efficiency and runoff ratios) and physiographic features of basins, using modeled data. The authors present new results based on observed data from 1305 basins, applying a linear regression model with four basin descriptors to assess runoff ratios. The study confirms that while both modeled and observed runoff ratios relate significantly to similar basin characteristics, the wetness index remains a strong predictor, revealing variances in hydrologic behavior across different basins.
