Baseflow Recession Prediction
During a baseflow-only period, the following discharge observations were made:


Date		Q
(cfs)
15 Mar276
16 Mar268

Assuming that the baseflow-only period continues on subsequent days (i.e., no rainfall):

  1. Estimate the baseflow coefficient K (HINT: Use the observation to determine an appropriate value for K).
  2. Predict the baseflow Q(t) (in cfs) for each day from 17-22 March.
