Two alternative forms of topographic index and soil-topographic index are developed based on parabolic and linear transmissivity functions, leading to the more frequently observed second-order hyperbolic and exponential recession curves, respectively. It is shown how these can be used in the same way as the original to relate catchment average water table depths to local water table depths so that patterns of saturation can be evaluated.
