Groundwater pollution threatens human and ecosystem health in many regions around the
globe. Fast flow to the groundwater through focused recharge is known to transmit short …

Abstract Models that simulate water flow and quality, particularly related to nitrate ions, are
commonly used on a catchment-scale. However, tracking nitrate ions is a challenging task …

The young water fraction (F yw*), defined as the fraction of catchment outflow with transit
times of less than 2–3 months, is increasingly used in hydrological studies that exploit the …

Based on 30 sampling campaigns on precipitation, river water and groundwater in
Qingbaijiang urban catchment, southwest China, this study reports the spatio-temporal …

Introducing additional information sources, such as hydrochemical signatures and water
isotopes, into the model calibration has shown to be useful to enhance model robustness by …

The Alps are a key water resource for central Europe, providing water for drinking,
agriculture, and hydropower production. Thus, understanding runoff generation processes of …

Deforestation can considerably affect transpiration dynamics and magnitudes at the
catchment scale and thereby alter the partitioning between drainage and evaporative water …

Continuous and extended observations of hydrometeorological parameters, alongside the
analysis of the isotopic composition across diverse waters within catchments, can …

Abstract Knowledge of water transit times through watersheds is fundamental to understand
hydrological and biogeochemical processes. However, its prediction is still elusive …

The proportion of water younger than 2–3 months (young water fraction, F yw) has become
increasingly investigated in catchment hydrology. F yw is typically estimated by comparing …
