Abstract Analysis of hydrographs from a 4·3 hectare stream head catchment indicates that storm runoff is generated from dynamic source areas. The volume and timing of contributions from different parts of the catchment show, when compared with the extent of surface saturation, that pipeflow generated from areas not saturated at the soil surface is a significant component of the quickflow hydrograph. A simple model of pipeflow generation and contribution is discussed in the light of field results.
