Evaporation from a shallow water table: Diurnal dynamics of water and heat at the surface of drying sand

Marc Parlange, Ivan Lunati, Chad Higgins, Scott W. Tyler

Accurate estimates of water losses by evaporation from shallow water tables are important for hydrological, agricultural, and climatic purposes. An experiment was conducted in a weighing lysimeter to characterize the diurnal dynamics of evaporation under n ...

Geomorphic signatures on brutsaert base flow recession analysis

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Enrico Bertuzzo, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner, Serena Ceola, Ludovico Nicotina, Nevena Tomasic

This paper addresses the signatures of catchment geomorphology on base flow recession curves. Its relevance relates to the implied predictability of base flow features, which are central to catchment-scale transport processes and to ecohydrological functio ...

Comparison of hydrologic response between a conceptual and a travel time distribution model for a snow-covered alpine catchment using Alpine3D

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Bettina Schaefli, Francesco Comola, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Raphaël Mutzner

Fully distributed models of alpine catchment surface processes typically use the geomorphological information provided by digital maps for describing the dynamics of rain, snow, soil and vegetation with much detail. Physically based hydrological models wou ...

Radar for hydrology: unfulfilled promise or unrecognized potential?

Alexis Berne

Hydrology requires accurate and reliable rainfall input. Because of the strong spatial and temporal variability of precipitation, estimation of spatially distributed rain rates is challenging. Despite the fact that weather radars provide high-resolution (b ...

Non-Stationary Hydrologic Transport in the Vadose Zone: Experimental Results of Multiple Tracer Injections in Lysimeters

Andrea Rinaldo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

Travel and residence times are well-known descriptors of hydrologic and solute transport in the vadose zone. It has been observed that their probability density functions are stationary only under specific conditions, rarely encountered in natural catchmen ...

Numerical modeling of field scale application of ground silicate minerals for groundwater pH buffering

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Recently, it was shown that ground silicate minerals are a potentially suitable pH buffering material for contaminated soils undergoing acidification, for example due to acid mine leachate and coal pile runoff infiltration, as well as during the degradatio ...

The geomorphic origin of recession curves

Nevena Tomasic

An important study domain in hydrology is dedicated to understand how the spatial organization of river networks is reflected in the hydrologic response to rainfall inputs (Biswal and Marani, 2010). Base flow (or recession flow) is the discharge rate in a ...

Stochastic modeling of salt accumulation in the root zone due to capillary flux from brackish groundwater

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

[1] Groundwater can be a source of both water and salts in semiarid areas, and therefore, capillary pressure-induced upward water flow may cause root zone salinization. To identify which conditions result in hazardous salt concentrations in the root zone, ...

Hydrologic controls on equilibrium soil depths

Andrea Rinaldo, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper deals with modelling the mutual feedbacks between runoff production and geomorphological processes and attributes that lead to patterns of equilibrium soil depth. Our primary goal is an attempt to describe spatial patterns of soil depth resultin ...

American Geophysical Union2011

The determination of aquifer parameters is fundamental to groundwater resources assessment. This important topic has received much attention in the literature over many years. Singh (2008) presented a method for determination of parameters for an ideal con ...
