AB: The effect of a space-time multifractal structure of rainfall fields on runoff scaling in nested basins is being analyzed in this work. The scaling relationship between runoff and watershed area is reevaluated as a consequence. The temporal filtering effect of the watershed on the temporal singularity structure of rainfall is also evaluated. Conclusions are drawn concerning the regional transposition of hydrologic statistics and regularities.
