We have now received the comments of two referees. I agree with the reviewers that the manuscript presents a valuable and interesting study that highlights the importance of bedrock slope and soil-bedrock conductivity on streamflow recession by using numerical experiments.
The paper is well written, and the methodology and analysis of results are well described and technically sound. There are only some minor issues that need to be addressed before considering publication, including:

1) a clearer description of sensitivity to some of the model parameters (as mentioned by reviewer #1).
2) Discussion and comparison to results from previous studies (as requested also by reviewer #1).
3) Better description of the model used in this study (referee #2)

In addition, both reviews have included some other minor comments and feedback that are very valuable. The detailed responses from the authors on how they plan to address the manuscript are very positive and show that they plan to improve the scientific contribution of the manuscript following the referees comments.

After a careful assessment of the revised manuscript and the response letter, it is clear that the authors have addressed the reviewer's comments and that the new manuscript has been improved in the process. I am therefore happy to accept for publication.
