Transient Storage Model Parameter Optimization Using the Simulated Annealing Method

Abstract

The hyporheic zone connects streams and rivers with groundwater, and it is recognized as critical for nutrient management and the proper functioning of stream ecosystems (Stegen et al., 2018), especially for slowly moving or small stream systems. Transport and transformation of many solutes, including nutrients, in stream corridors result from the interplay between biogeochemical processes and solute exchange between the stream channels and the metabolically active hyporheic zone (
