Technical note: Two-component electrical-conductivity-based hydrograph separation employing an exponential mixing model (EXPECT) provides reliable high-temporal-resolution young water fraction estimates in three small Swiss catchments

The young water fraction represents the portion of water molecules in a stream that have entered the catchment relatively recently, typically within 2-3 months. It can be reliably estimated in spatially heterogeneous and nonstationary catchments from the a ...

Multidecadal glacio-hydrological modelling of Parlung No.4 catchment, Tibet

Glaciers are key components of the water towers of Asia and, as such, are relied upon by large downstream communities for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses. They store snow and ice during cold periods and release it as water during warm periods - ...

Role of microbial cell properties on bacterial pathogen and coliphage removal in biochar-modified stormwater biofilters

Stormwater biofilters are distributed stormwater control measures for managing urban runoff. Recent work has shown that adding biochar to biofilters can reduce stormwater contaminant concentrations, including fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). However, the po ...

Parsimonious hydrological modeling of urban sewer and river catchments

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

A parsimonious model of flow capable of simulating flow in natural/engineered catchments and at WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) inlets was developed. The model considers three interacting, dynamic storages that account for transfer of water within the sy ...
