It is shown that models based on a kinematic wave formulation may be good approximations for those based on the extended Dupuit‐Forchheimier assumptions for values of the nondimensional parameter λ = 4i cos θ/(K sin2θ) less than about 0.75 in terms of predicting both water table profiles and subsurface stormflow hydrographs. By using this critical value of λ the range of values of slope angle and saturated hydraulic conductivity for which the kinematic approximation is valid can be specified. A comparison is made with slope angles and hydraulic conductivities at field sites where subsurface stormflow has been shown to be an important component of catchment storm response.
