Abstract
Precipitation and groundwater level data sets from Kum river watershed were analyzed and compared. The correlation between groundwater level and the moving average of precipitation was analyzed. Moving averaging technique is stochastic method and that was used to consider the effect of precipitation events on groundwater level fluctuation. Groundwater level generally follows seasonal precipitation pattern and low level occurs from early December to late April. Relatively high groundwater level is appeared in wet spell (July and August). The correlation between groundwater level and the moving average of precipitation to consider precedent precipitation events was analyzed with minimum two-year data sets. When the precipitation and groundwater level data set pair was selected the precipitation gauge station is closely located to groundwater level gauge station in the upstream direction to minimize the non-homogeneous precipitation distribution effect. The maximum correlation was occurred when the averaging periods were from 10 days to 150 days with Kum river watershed data. The correlation coefficients are influenced by data quality, missing data periods, or snow melt effect, etc. The maximum coefficient was 0.8886 for Kum river watershed data.
