Abstract
A comprehensive review on the applications of time series analysis in surface water hydrology, climatology and groundwater hydrology (Machiwal and Jha, 2006) revealed that although several studies deal with the application of time series analysis in surface water hydrology, the application of time series analysis in subsurface hydrology is greatly limited. In subsurface hydrology, time series analysis has been mostly used for detecting trends in groundwater quality (Loftis, 1996; Broers and van der Grift, 2004; Chang, 2008; Visser et al., 2009).
