Hyporheic hydraulic geometry: Conceptualizing relationships among hyporheic exchange, storage, and water age
Fig 6
Visualization of hyporheic water exchange in an annular flume.
(a) Cut-away diagram of the annular flume. (b) Observed (points) and modeled (line) surface water specific conductance. Modeled data derived by fitting values of τn and α to observed data using Eqs 15 and 16. (c) Visualized relationship among water age, hyporheic exchange, and interstitial water storage in the flume. Grey wedges represent aquifer discharge rates for a period of 10 seconds.
