Short summary
We propose a simple modification of the Brutsaert–Nieber analysis of aquifers during a hydrologic recession that allows for the nonzero depth of the adjoining stream to the aquifer to be duly taken into account. This modification can produce significantly different values of the estimated drainable porosity, as found by a simple sensitivity analysis.
