Fifty years of hyporheic zone research have shown the important role played by the
hyporheic zone as an interface between groundwater and surface waters. However, it is only …

Fine sediment represents an important part of the solid flux of rivers. Due to the size of these
particles, they are often transported as suspended load. They gradually fill the pores of the …

In this chapter, the authors aim to uncover the organizational principles–the main drivers
and controls, and their interactions and feedbacks–that determine the development and …

Interest in groundwater (GW)-surface water (SW) interactions has grown steadily over the
last two decades. New regulations such as the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) now …

Connectivity as a concept has been increasingly part of discussions or explanations in
hydrology, geomorphology and ecology. We address recent critiques of this approach by …

Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

The hyporheic zone, defined by shallow subsurface pathways through river beds and banks
beginning and ending at the river, is an integral and unique component of fluvial systems. It …

Hyporheic exchange is the mixing of surface and shallow subsurface water through porous
sediment surrounding a river and is driven by spatial and temporal variations in channel …

The hyporheic zone is an ecotone connecting the stream and groundwater ecosystem that
plays a significant role for stream biogeochemistry. Water exchange across the stream …

Interactions between groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) have important implications
for water quantity, water quality, and ecological health. The subsurface region proximal to …
