Title: Runoff response to basin parameters in southwestern Nigeria
Abstract: The monthly, seasonal and annual runoff and runoff coefficients of fifteen third-order basins in a part of southwestern Nigeria are presented. The runoff values appear to be generally low and vary widely among the basins. They also vary strongly over the hydrological year, reflecting the water-yielding capacity of the basin saprolite, rocks and soil-moisture status. This last appears to be very important at the peak of the rainy season. The annual runoff coefficients range from 1 to 40% of annual rainfall. The runoff parameters considered are strongly influenced by the nature of the soil and geology of the basins.
