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 ...

Storage selection functions: A coherent framework for quantifying how catchments store and release water and solutes

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Gianluca Botter

We discuss a recent theoretical approach combining catchment-scale flow and transport processes into a unified framework. The approach is designed to characterize the hydrochemistry of hydrologic systems and to meet the challenges posed by empirical eviden ...

Linking water age and solute dynamics in streamflow at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, NH, USA

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

We combine experimental and modeling results from a headwater catchment at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), New Hampshire, USA, to explore the link between stream solute dynamics and water age. A theoretical framework based on water age dynami ...

Modeling chloride transport using travel time distributions at Plynlimon, Wales

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

Here we present a theoretical interpretation of high-frequency, high-quality tracer time series from the Hafren catchment at Plynlimon in mid-Wales. We make use of the formulation of transport by travel time distributions to model chloride transport origin ...

Kinematics of age mixing in advection-dispersion models

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

This paper investigates age mixing processes arising in advection-dispersion models, where large-scale travel and residence time distributions can be explicitly calculated based on the underlying velocity field. In particular, we analyze spatially integrat ...

Chloride circulation in a lowland catchment and the formulation of transport by travel time distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

Travel times are fundamental catchment descriptors that blend key information about storage, geochemistry, flow pathways and sources of water into a coherent mathematical framework. Here we analyze travel time distributions (TTDs) (and related attributes) ...
