Abstract
Presented are the results of adapting and testing the method of the genetic disintegration of the runoff hydrograph based on the use of natural chemical tracers in the framework of the End-Member Mixing Analysis (EMMA). Computations of volume of rainwater, soil water, and underground water are carried out by the joint analysis of the data of detailed hydrological and hydrochemical observations in the small experimental catchment in the Ussuri River basin. The results of computations enable analyzing the mutual dynamics of different runoff sources of the stream during the summer-autumn flood period.
