“…'Hot spots' of special interest could be detected with the method, thus the resources for further measurements could be allocated in a more economic way. Where intensive monitoring campaigns involving extensive field instrumentation and complex transient modelling are not feasible, a simple steady-state model as proposed by Bredehoeft and Papadopulos (1965) or Arriaga and Leap (2006) together with an instrument like the T-stick could provide an attractive alternative to get first estimates of local groundwater-surface water interactions.…”

“…Upward flow of water will bend the temperature profile 'upward' (e.g. in direction of the surface; Figure 2) and infiltration will bend the curve in the other direction (see also Stonestrom and Constantz, 2003;Arriaga and Leap, 2006;Schmidt et al, 2006). According to Schmidt et al (2007), the steady-state solution is limited to upward flow conditions.…”

“…Continuous temperature data at the boundaries can be obtained from direct measurements in the field. Groundwater temperature at the lower boundary is assumed to be quasi-constant (Arriaga and Leap, 2006;Schmidt et al, 2006) and can usually be obtained from deep piezometers. The cost of instrumentation and installation of self-recording sensors often make it difficult to measure continuous data from more than just a few locations.…”

Abstract:Heat is recognized as a natural tracer to identify the exchange of water between the groundwater and surface water compartment. One-dimensional (1D) heat transport models have the ability to obtain quantitative estimates of vertical fluxes through the sediment matrix. Input to these models can come from temperatures observed in the surface water and in the bed material of rivers and lakes. The upper thermal boundary condition at the groundwater-surface water interface is affected by seasonal and diurnal temperature variations. We hypothesize that effects of these transient influences are negligible at certain times of the year, such that the vertical temperature distribution can be approximated to be at steady state. Temperature time series observed over a year in the surface water and at several depths below a river in Belgium and in sediments of an acid mine lake in Eastern Germany were simulated with a heat balance model implemented in FEMME and the water and energy model VS2DH to obtain seepage fluxes. Temperature variations throughout the year at all depths could be adequately reproduced with the transient models. Vertical temperature profiles at several measuring times during the year were also fitted with an analytical, steady-state solution for 1D heat transport and the obtained fluxes compared to the results from transient simulations. Fluxes obtained from the much simpler steady-state solution were compared well with the flux rates from transient simulations for moments between mid and late summer, as well as during the winter. During transitional seasons (fall and spring), the fluxes from the steady-state solution deviated significantly from the transient estimates with a tendency to underestimate at the beginning and to overestimate towards the end of those seasons. We conclude that fitting a simple analytical solution for 1D vertical heat transport to temperature data observed at particular well-selected times of the year can provide an inexpensive, simple method to obtain accurate point estimates of groundwater-surface water exchange in rivers and lakes.

“…This value is on the high side of groundwater discharge velocities estimated by Anibas et al (2011). The value is much larger than the infiltration velocity estimated by Arriaga and Leap (2006). Groundwater contribution to river discharges during a heavy rainfall event on 1 to 5 July 2011 was estimated with the two-component tracer-based hydrograph separation technique (cf.…”

Abstract. During the last decades, large-scale land use changes took place in the Hailiutu River catchment, a semiarid area in northwest China. These changes had significant impacts on the water resources in the area. Insights into groundwater and surface water interactions and vegetationwater dependencies help to understand these impacts and formulate sustainable water resources management policies. In this study, groundwater and surface water interactions were identified using the baseflow index at the catchment scale, and hydraulic and water temperature methods as well as event hydrograph separation techniques at the sub-catchment scale. The results show that almost 90 % of the river discharge consists of groundwater. Vegetation dependencies on groundwater were analysed from the relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and groundwater depth at the catchment scale and along an ecohydrogeological cross-section, and by measuring the sap flow of different plants, soil water contents and groundwater levels at different research sites. The results show that all vegetation types, i.e. trees (willow (Salix matsudana) and poplar (Populus simonii), bushes (salixSalix psammophila), and agricultural crops (maize -Zea mays)), depend largely on groundwater as the source for transpiration. The comparative analysis indicates that maize crops use the largest amount of water, followed by poplar trees, salix bushes, and willow trees. For sustainable water use with the objective of satisfying the water demand for socio-economical development and to prevent desertification and ecological impacts on streams, more water-use-efficient crops such as sorghum, barley or millet should be promoted to reduce the consumptive water use. Willow trees should be used as wind-breaks in croplands and along roads, and drought-resistant and less water-use intensive plants (for instance native bushes) should be used to vegetate sand dunes.

“…In order to estimate a first-order approximation of fluid flow rates in KG offshore basin, we follow the methodology as described by Land and Paull (2001), Hornbach et al (2005), Arriaga and Leap (2006) and Pecher et al (2009), which utilizes the variations in GTG. The methodology is based on the 1-D analytical solution of the differential equation for simultaneous conductive and advective heat transport in a homogenous and isotropic medium (Bredehoeft and Papadopulos, 1965).…”
