AbstractThis thesis deals with the examination of physical features of the adjacent Petchburi and Pranburi catchments which affect runoff. They are generally subject to the South-west monsoon rain which begins in May and ends in September. The climate over these catchments is similar. The mean annual runoff in the Petchburi river is 26.05 cms. based on the records from eleven years. The Pranburi river has only 25 months of record, and based on this short record the mean annual runoff is 13.54 cms. The rivers drain similar sized catchments in a similar geologic formation. There are a number of physiographic and geomorphic parameters which suggest that the yield in the Petchburi river should be higher than the yield from the Pranburi river. None of these parameters would indicate so large a difference.
