“…Physical and chemical indicators can help with locating the down and upwelling zones, respectively (Ward, Malard, Tockner, & Uehlinger, 1999) because groundwater inflows generally have a constant temperature, a high solute content (e.g., Ca ++ , Na + , and K + ; Grasby, Hutcheon, & McFarland, 1999; Cook, 2013), thereby inducing changes in surface water electrical conductivity (Hill & Neal, 1997). Chemical changes induced by groundwater supplies may, however, be hidden by tributaries or by temporal cycles (Marmonier et al, 2020). To avoid these problems, biological indicators of river‐groundwater exchanges were proposed for hyporheic assemblages (Graillot et al, 2014; Lafont, Camus, & Rosso, 1996; Leigh, Stubbington, Sheldon, & Boulton, 2013).…”
