Tracking residence times in hydrological systems: forward and backward formulations

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

In recent years, several papers contributed to the development and clarification of key theoretical issues underlying the formulation of transport by travel time distributions in catchments. Such a formulation provides a robust description of the temporal ...

Altitudinal patterns of diversity and functional traits of metabolically active microorganisms in stream biofilms

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

Resources structure ecological communities and potentially link biodiversity to energy flow. It is commonly believed that functional traits (generalists versus specialists) involved in the exploitation of resources depend on resource availability and envir ...

Measuring surface flow velocity with smartphones: potential for citizen observatories

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Steven Vincent Weijs, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Stream flow velocity is an important variable for discharge estimation and research on sediment dynamics. Given the influence of the latter on rating curves (stage-discharge relations), and the relative scarcity of direct streamflow measurements, surface v ...

Hydraulische Bemessung des Klaviertastenwehrs

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister

The Piano Key Weir (PKW) is a hydraulically attractive alternative to linear overflow weirs, increasing the unit discharge for similar heads and spillway widths. This advantage allows for operating dam reservoirs on an increased level and thereby provides ...

Non-stationarity of solute travel time distribution observed in a controlled hydrologic transport volume

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz, Luca Carraro, Gianluca Botter

Experimental data were collected over a year-long period in a transport experiment carried out within a controlled transport volume (represented by a 2m-deep, 1m-diameter lysimeter fitted with bottom drainage). The soil surface was shielded from natural ra ...

Hydrological and thermal response modeling based on travel time formulation of water and energy transport in snow-covered Alpine catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Bettina Schaefli, Francesco Comola

In our contribution we present a semi-distributed model for thermo-hydrologic simulations of snow-covered alpine catchments, based on the travel time formulation of water and energy transport at sub-catchment scale. The output consists of distributed infor ...

Herbicides export dynamics of a mid-sized lake tributary: lessons from observations and modelling

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Bettina Schaefli, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

We present here a model which couples the hydrologic component and the transport of herbicides within a catchment. The model used takes into account the age structure of the stream water in order to characterize short and long term fluctuations of herbicid ...

Could electrical conductivity replace water level in rating curves for alpine streams?

Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner

Streamflow time series are important for inference and understanding of the hydrological processes in alpine watersheds. Because streamflow is expensive to continuously measure directly, it is usually derived from measured water levels, using a rating curv ...
