The natural basin yield of a ground water basin can be calculated from a quantitative analysis of the flow net obtained from a digital computer solution to a numerical mathematical model of the basin. The natural basin yield is an unique property of the basin and can be considered as a measure of the ground water recharge to the basin and a conservative estimate of the safe yield. Rates of ground water recharge and discharge vary from place to place throughout the areal extent of a basin; a quantitative analysis can be used to determine the positions of concentration. Quantitative interpretation of ground water flow nets can play an important role in the calculation of basin-wide water balances due to the inter- relationships between ground water recharge and infiltration at one end of the flow system and ground water discharge, evapotranspiration, and stream baseflow at the other.
