“…The transfer of water as a result of actual flow processes can be classified into four categories according to the control: (1) turbulent diffusion is caused by the transfer of turbulent momentum between stream and pore-water flow (Zhou and Mendoza, 1993;Packman and Bencala, 2000); (2) hydrodynamically induced advection, known as bedform-/flow-induced advection, current-obstacle interaction or pumping exchange, is caused by the acceleration of flow over bedforms that gives rise to pressure variations, thus inducing flow in and out of the bed (Thibodeaux and Boyle, 1987;Elliott, 1990); (3) hydrostatically induced advection results from spatial variations of the hydraulic gradient caused either by geomorphological features such as stream meanders (Wroblicky et al, 1998;Boano et al, 2006) and instream structures, e.g. debris dams, step-pool sequences (Gooseff et al, 2006;Lautz et al, 2006;Hester and Doyle, 2008), or hydrogeological characteristics, primarily permeability distribution (Woessner, 2000;Cardenas et al, 2004) and ambient groundwater discharge (Larkin and Sharp, 1992;Winter, 1999);and (4) what may be considered as transient exchange is the transfer driven by the fluctuations of stage and groundwater, for example through bank storage (Sauer and Pinder, 1970;Konrad, 2006).…”
