Heat Model

  • Atmospheric heat exchange.
  • Advection of heat with water

among hyporheic “bins” and stream channel.

  • Storage of heat in gravel and

water within each bin based

  • n bin volume, specific heat
  • f water and sediment, and

aquifer porosity.

Conclusion

  • Hydrology governs the transport and dynamics of

energy and solutes in linked riverine/hyporheic hydro-systems. Geomorphology governs the hydrology.

Conclusions

  • The parsimony of hydrologic conceptual models

enhances or limits our ability to understand (and predict?) physical and biotic responses to land use change and restoration efforts.

Parting thoughts

  • For hillslopes, “flow accumulation” and “upslope

accumulated area” are the dominant hydrologic paradigms.

  • How do the hydrologic assumptions embedded in

these concepts facilitate and limit our understanding of transport/processing?

  • How would our understanding change by

incorporating residence time distributions or other key aspects of “hydrologic reality?”

OK, let’s review and consider where to go from here.

Montana State University.
