The quality of water gained via BF depends on the subsurface capture zone, the mixing ratio (river water versus ambient groundwater), spatial and temporal distribution of subsurface travel times, and subsurface temperature patterns. Surface-water infiltration into the adjacent aquifer is determined by the local hydraulic gradient and riverbed permeability, which could be altered by natural clogging, scouring and artificial decolmation processes. The seasonal behaviour of a BF system in Germany, and its development during and about 6 months after decolmation (canal reconstruction), was observed with a long-term monitoring programme. To quantify the spatial and temporal variation in the BF system, a transient flow and heat transport model was implemented and two model scenarios, 'with' and 'without' canal reconstruction, were generated. Overall, the simulated water heads and temperatures matched those observed. Increased hydraulic connection between the canal and aquifer caused by the canal reconstruction led to an increase of similar to 23% in the already high share of BF water abstracted by the nearby waterworks. Subsurface travel-time distribution substantially shifted towards shorter travel times. Flow paths with travel times <200 days increased by similar to 10% and those with <300 days by 15%. Generally, the periodic temperature signal, and the summer and winter temperature extrema, increased and penetrated deeper into the aquifer. The joint hydrological and thermal effects caused by the canal reconstruction might increase the potential of biodegradable compounds to further penetrate into the aquifer, also by potentially affecting the redox zonation in the aquifer.

In addition, it is important to understand the complex interactions with the sea to predict impacts of further development. In the present study the aim was to analyze surface and subsurface flow in a coastal wetland located at the Baltic Sea coastline near Warnemunde (Germany) to quantify water exchange with the Baltic Sea and analyze the effect of a storm flood event on saline intrusion. A 3-D transient groundwater model and a one-dimensional surface water model were set up and calibrated by using hydraulic head measurements. The results indicate that in addition to ditch flow, groundwater discharge to the Baltic Sea often has a significant influence on the overall water budget of the fen. From the transient modelling it became evident that water exchange between groundwater in the fen and the Baltic Sea depends on sea level and very often fluctuates between seaward and landward flow directions on daily to weekly time scales. N2 - Küstennahe Niedermoore wurden durch den Menschen verändert, bspw. durch das Anlegen von Entwässerungsgräben, dem Bau von Küstenschutzdeichen oder aktuell einer Renaturierung. Außerdem ist es wichtig die komplexe Interaktion mit der See zu verstehen, um Aussagen über die zukünftige Entwicklung treffen zu können. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde die ober- und unterirdische Strömung in einem Feuchtgebiet an der mecklenburgischen Ostseeküste nahe Warnemünde (Deutschland) untersucht, um dessen wechselseitigen Austausch mit der Ostsee zu quantifizieren und zu analysieren, wie sich ein Sturmhochwasserereignis auf den Salzeintrag ins Gebiet auswirkt. Hierfür wurde ein dreidimensionales instationäres Grundwassermodell erstellt, mit einem eindimensionalen Modell des Grabensystems gekoppelt und mit Messungen im Gebiet kalibriert und verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass neben der oberirdischen Entwässerung auch der Grundwasserabstrom in Richtung Ostsee eine wesentliche Komponente der Wasserbilanz darstellt. Das Verhalten entlang der Küste wird deutlich durch die Dynamik der Ostseewasserstände geprägt, wobei ein Grundwasserabstrom mit einem Zustrom von Ostseewasser bei hohen Küstenwasserständen innerhalb täglicher bis wöchentlicher Zeitskalen wechselt.

The typical application is to estimate vertical water fluxes in the shallow subsurface beneath streams or lakes. For this purpose, time series of temperatures in the surface water and in the sediment are measured and evaluated by a vertical 1D representation of heat transport by advection and conduction. Several analytical solutions exist to calculate the vertical water flux from the measured temperatures. Although analytical solutions can be easily implemented, they are restricted to specific boundary conditions such as a sinusoidal upper temperature boundary. Numerical solutions offer higher flexibility in the selection of the boundary conditions. This, in turn, reduces the effort of data preprocessing, such as the extraction of the diurnal temperature variation from the raw data. Here, we present software to estimate water fluxes based on temperaturesFLUX-BOT. FLUX-BOT is a numerical code written in MATLAB that calculates vertical water fluxes in saturated sediments based on the inversion of measured temperature time series observed at multiple depths. FLUX-BOT applies a centred Crank-Nicolson implicit finite difference scheme to solve the one-dimensional heat advection-conduction equation. FLUX-BOT includes functions for the inverse numerical routines, functions for visualizing the results, and a function for performing uncertainty analysis. We present applications of FLUX-BOT to synthetic and to real temperature data to demonstrate its performance.

In particular, hyporheic temperatures have a great impact on many temperature-sensitive microbial processes. In this study, we used 3-D coupled water flow and heat transport simulations applying the HydroGeoSphere code in combination with high-resolution observations of hydraulic heads and temperatures to quantify reach-scale water and heat flux across the river-groundwater interface and hyporheic temperature dynamics of a lowland gravel bed river. The model was calibrated in order to constrain estimates of the most sensitive model parameters. The magnitude and variations of the simulated temperatures matched the observed ones, with an average mean absolute error of 0.7 degrees C and an average Nash Sutcliffe efficiency of 0.87. Our results indicate that nonsubmerged streambed structures such as gravel bars cause substantial thermal heterogeneity within the saturated sediment at the reach scale. Individual hyporheic flow path temperatures strongly depend on the flow path residence time, flow path depth, river, and groundwater temperature. Variations in individual hyporheic flow path temperatures were up to 7.9 degrees C, significantly higher than the daily average (2.8 degrees C), but still lower than the average seasonal hyporheic temperature difference (19.2 degrees C). The distribution between flow path temperatures and residence times follows a power law relationship with exponent of about 0.37. Based on this empirical relation, we further estimated the influence of hyporheic flow path residence time and temperature on oxygen consumption which was found to partly increase by up to 29% in simulations.

The underlying assumption of the stationary, one-dimensional vertical flow field is frequently violated in natural systems where subsurface water flow often has a significant horizontal component. In this paper, we present a new methodology for identifying the geometry of the subsurface flow field using vertical temperature profiles. The statistical analyses are based on model optimisation and selection and are used to evaluate the shape of vertical amplitude ratio profiles. The method was applied to multiple profiles measured around in-stream geomorphological structures in a losing reach of a gravel bed river. The predominant subsurface flow field was systematically categorised in purely vertical and horizontal (hyporheic, parafluvial) components. The results highlight that river groundwater exchange flux at the head, crest and tail of geomorphological structures significantly deviated from the one-dimensional vertical flow, due to a significant horizontal component. The geometry of the subsurface water flow depended on the position around the geomorphological structures and on the river level. The methodology presented in this paper features great potential for characterising the spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of complex subsurface flow geometries by using measured temperature time series in vertical profiles.

The influence of temperature probe setup on the accuracy of vertical water flux calculation was systematically evaluated in this experimental study. Four temperature probe setups were installed into a sand box experiment to measure temporal highly resolved vertical temperature profiles under controlled water fluxes in the range of +/- 1.3 md(-1). Pass band filtering provided amplitude differences and phase shifts of the diurnal temperature signal varying with depth depending on water flux. Amplitude ratios of setups directly installed into the saturated sediment significantly varied with sand box hydraulic gradients. Amplitude ratios provided an accurate basis for the analytical calculation of water flow velocities, which matched measured flow velocities. Calculated flow velocities were sensitive to thermal properties of saturated sediment and to temperature sensor spacing, but insensitive to thermal dispersivity equal to solute dispersivity. Amplitude ratios of temperature probe setups indirectly installed into piezometer pipes were influenced by thermal exchange processes within the pipes and significantly varied with water flux direction only. Temperature time lags of small sensor distances of all setups were found to be insensitive to vertical water flux.

This is essential for maintaining good groundwater quality and providing high quality drinking water. Predicting the fate of OMP during RBF is difficult as the biogeochemical factors controlling the removal efficiency are not fully understood. To determine in-situ removal efficiency and degradation rates of nitrate and OMP indicator substances we conducted a field study in a RBF system during a period of one and a half years incorporating temporally and spatially varying redox conditions and temperature changes typically occurring in temperate climates. RBF was analyzed by means of mixing ratios between infiltrated river water and groundwater as well as average residence times of surface water towards the individual groundwater observation wells. These results were used to calculate temperature dependent first order degradation rates of redox sensitive species and several OMP. Five out of ten investigated OMP were completely removed along RBF pathways. We demonstrate that degradation rates of several OMP during bank filtration were controlled by redox conditions and temperature whereby temperature itself also had a significant influence on the extent of the most reactive oxic zone. The seasonal variations in temperature alone could explain a considerable percentage of the variance in dissolved oxygen (34%), nitrate (81%) as well as the OMPs diclofenac (44%) and sulfamethoxazole (76%). Estimated in-situ degradation rates roughly varied within one order of magnitude for temperature changes between 5 degrees C and 20 degrees C. This study highlights that temporal variability in temperature and redox zonation is a significant factor for migration and degradation of nitrate and several OMPs. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

Observations of sub-channel vertical hydraulic gradients at the field site indicate the dominance of groundwater up-welling into the river and the absence of groundwater recharge from surface water. However, observed hydraulic heads do not provide information on potential surface water infiltration into the top 0-15 cm of the streambed as these depths are not covered by the existing experimental infrastructure. In order to evaluate whether surface water infiltration is likely to occur outside the 'window of detection', i.e. the shallow streambed, a numerical groundwater model is used to simulate hydrological exchanges between the aquifer and the river. Transient simulations of the successfully validated model (Nash and Sutcliff efficiency of 0.91) suggest that surface water infiltration is marginal and that the possibility of significant volumes of surface water infiltrating into non-monitored shallow streambed sediments can be excluded for the simulation period. Furthermore, the simulation results show that with increasing head differences between river and aquifer towards the end of the simulation period, the impact of streambed topography and hydraulic conductivity on spatial patterns of exchange flow rates decreases. A set of peak flow scenarios with altered groundwater-surface water head gradients is simulated in order to quantify the potential for surface water infiltration during characteristic winter flow conditions following the observation period. The results indicate that, particularly at the beginning of peak flow conditions, head gradients are likely to cause substantial increase in surface water infiltration into the streambed. The study highlights the potential for the improvement of process understanding of hyporheic exchange flow patterns at the stream reach scale by simulating aquifer-river exchange fluxes with a standard numerical groundwater model and a simple but robust model structure and parameterization.

Solute and heat exchange across this interface is driven by the advection of water. Characterizing the flow conditions in the streambed is challenging as flow patterns are often complex and multidimensional, driven by surface hydraulic gradients and groundwater discharge. This thesis presents the results of an integrated approach of studies, ranging from the acquisition of field data, the development of analytical and numerical approaches to analyse vertical temperature profiles to the detailed, fully-integrated 3D numerical modelling of water and heat flux at the reach scale. All techniques were applied in order to characterize exchange flux between stream and groundwater, hyporheic flow paths and temperature patterns. The study was conducted at a reach-scale section of the lowland Selke River, characterized by distinctive pool riffle sequences and fluvial islands and gravel bars. Continuous time series of hydraulic heads and temperatures were measured at different depths in the river bank, the hyporheic zone and within the river. The analyses of the measured diurnal temperature variation in riverbed sediments provided detailed information about the exchange flux between river and groundwater. Beyond the one-dimensional vertical water flow in the riverbed sediment, hyporheic and parafluvial flow patterns were identified. Subsurface flow direction and magnitude around fluvial islands and gravel bars at the study site strongly depended on the position around the geomorphological structures and on the river stage. Horizontal water flux in the streambed substantially impacted temperature patterns in the streambed. At locations with substantial horizontal fluxes the penetration depths of daily temperature fluctuations was reduced in comparison to purely vertical exchange conditions. The calibrated and validated 3D fully-integrated model of reach-scale water and heat fluxes across the river-groundwater interface was able to accurately represent the real system. The magnitude and variations of the simulated temperatures matched the observed ones, with an average mean absolute error of 0.7 °C and an average Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency of 0.87. The simulation results showed that the water and heat exchange at the surface water-groundwater interface is highly variable in space and time with zones of daily temperature oscillations penetrating deep into the sediment and spots of daily constant temperature following the average groundwater temperature. The average hyporheic flow path temperature was found to strongly correlate with the flow path residence time (flow path length) and the temperature gradient between river and groundwater. Despite the complexity of these processes, the simulation results allowed the derivation of a general empirical relationship between the hyporheic residence times and temperature patterns. The presented results improve our understanding of the complex spatial and temporal dynamics of water flux and thermal processes within the shallow streambed. Understanding these links provides a general basis from which to assess hyporheic temperature conditions in river reaches. N2 - Die Interaktion zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser hat einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Wasserqualität und die ökologische Beschaffenheit von Seen, Flüssen und aquatischen Ökosystemen. Der Austausch von Wärme und gelösten Substanzen zwischen diesen beiden Kompartimenten ist maßgeblich durch die Austauschraten und die Strömungsrichtung des Wassers beeinflusst. Somit ist die Charakterisierung dieser beiden Größen in dem Übergangsbereich zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser von besonderer Bedeutung. Diese Arbeit präsentiert die Entwicklung und Anwendung von Methoden zur Untersuchung der zeitlichen und räumlichen Dynamik des Wasser- und Wärmeflusses an der Schnittstelle zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser. Die Arbeit besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei Schwerpunkten. Der erste Schwerpunkt beinhaltet die Entwicklung und Bewertung von analytischen und numerischen Methoden zur Bestimmung der horizontalen Strömungsrichtung und Austauschraten unter Verwendung von kontinuierlich gemessenen Temperaturzeitreihen entlang vertikaler Profile im gesättigten Sediment. Flussbetttemperaturen können relativ einfach und kostengünstig entlang eines Flussabschnittes in verschiedenen Tiefen und unterschiedlichsten Flussbettsedimenten (organisch, sandig bis grob kiesig) gemessen werden. Die Hauptverwendung solcher Temperaturprofile ist bisher auf die analytische Quantifizierung vertikaler Austauschraten limitiert. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein Ansatz entwickelt, der eine punktuelle Ermittlung der horizontalen Strömungs-komponente, basierend auf der Veränderung der täglichen Temperaturamplitude mit zunehmender Tiefe, ermöglicht. Weiterhin wurde ein inverser, numerischer Ansatz entwickelt, der die ein-dimensionale Wärmetransportgleichung numerisch löst und mittels inverser Optimierungsalgorithmen die simulierten Temperaturen bestmöglich an die gemessenen Flussbetttemperaturen anpasst. Diese Methode ermöglicht die automatische, zeitlich variable Quantifizierung vertikaler Austauschraten an der Schnittstelle zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser sowie eine einfache Unsicherheitsbetrachtung aufgrund der zugrunde liegenden Parameterunsicherheiten. Der zweite Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt auf der Anwendung der entwickelten Methoden und der Erstellung eines dreidimensionalen Simulationsmodelles entlang eines Flussabschnittes der Selke. Numerische Strömungs- und Stofftransportmodelle ermöglichen die gekoppelte Simulation von Fließprozessen im offenen Gerinne und im darunter liegenden porösen Medium. Die Parametrisierung des Modells erfolgte anhand empirischer Daten die im Untersuchungsgebiet detailliert erhoben wurden. Die Simulationsergebnisse zeigten zum einen gebietsspezifische Gegebenheiten auf, ermöglichten darüber hinaus jedoch auch die Beschreibung allgemeiner Muster und Zusammenhänge welche die Wasserfluss- und Wärmetransportprozesse an der Schnittstelle zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser beeinflussen. So zeigten die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit, dass maßgeblich die natürlich vorhandenen Flussbettstrukturen die Austauschraten und die Strömungsrichtung zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser beeinflussen und somit den hyporheischen Austausch bestimmen. Wichtige Einflussfaktoren auf die untersuchten Austauschprozesse waren die Lage im Gerinne relativ zur Flussbettstruktur und der vorherrschende Wasserstand (Abfluss). Bedingt durch den Wasser- und Wärmeaustausch prägten sich im Untersuchungsgebiet Bereiche aus in denen die täglichen Temperaturschwingungen tief in das Sediment eindringen (Anstrombereich der Flussbettstrukturen), als auch Bereiche in denen relativ konstante Temperaturen, nahe der Grundwassertemperatur, vorherrschten. Die durchschnittliche Temperatur in der hyporheischen Zone wurde durch die saisonalen Temperaturschwankungen im Oberflächenwasser dominiert, wobei die Temperaturen entlang einzelner Fließpfade stark von der Verweilzeit des Oberflächen- oder Grundwassers im gesättigten Sediment und dem Temperaturgradienten zwischen Fluss und Grundwasser abhängig waren. Trotz der Komplexität dieser Zusammenhänge, ermöglichten die Simulationsergebnisse die Ableitung einer allgemeinen empirischen Beziehung zwischen den hyporheischen Verweilzeiten und Temperaturmustern. Sowohl die Verweilzeiten als auch die Temperatur im gesättigten Sediment haben einen entscheiden Einfluss auf biogeochemische Prozesse in dem Übergangsbereich zwischen Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser und sind somit von besonderer Bedeutung für die Wasserqualität von Seen, Flüssen und aquatischen Ökosystemen.

This study investigates the impact of streambed physical properties on the fate of nitrate and dissolved oxygen in groundwater upwelling through the streambed of a lowland river. For analyzing depth-dependent patterns and zonation of nitrogen concentrations, diffuse gel probes in shallow (top 15 cm) streambed sediments have been deployed in a nested setup together with multilevel minipiezometers for streambed sediments of 15-150 cm. Spatial heterogeneity of groundwater upwelling was controlled by patterns of low-conductivity peat and clay strata that caused locally confined conditions, suggesting increased streambed residence times. Nitrate concentrations in the upwelling groundwater changed by up to 68.06 mg L-1 within the top 15 cm of streambed sediments and by up to 107.47 mg L-1 at depths of 15-150 cm, indicating that significant nitrogen turnover was not restricted to shallow streambed sediments. Intensive reduction of nitrate concentrations was found, in particular, in vicinity of low-conductivity streambed strata. The coincidence of confined groundwater upwelling and reduced oxygen concentrations at these locations suggests that increased residence times and associated depletion of dissolved oxygen create conditions favorable for nitrate reduction. Our results highlight that increased nitrogen turnover at aquifer-river interfaces is not necessarily limited to shallow streambed zones, where surface water is mixing with groundwater, but can affect upwelling groundwater in reactive hot spots that extend to greater streambed depths and beyond hyporheic mixing zones.

In particular, aquifer temperatures and oxygen supply have a great impact on many microbial processes. To investigate the temporal and spatial behavior of selected organic micropollutants during bank filtration in dependence of relevant biogeochemical conditions, we have set up a 2D reactive transport model using MODFLOW and PHT3D under the user interface ORTI3D. The considered 160-m-long transect ranges from the surface water to a groundwater extraction well of the adjacent waterworks. For this purpose, water levels, temperatures, and chemical parameters were regularly measured in the surface water and groundwater observation wells over one and a half years. To simulate the effect of seasonal temperature variations on microbial mediated degradation, we applied an empirical temperature factor, which yields a strong reduction of the degradation rate at groundwater temperatures below 11 degrees C. Except for acesulfame, the considered organic micropollutants are substantially degraded along their subsurface flow paths with maximum degradation rates in the range of 10(-6) mol L-1 s(-1). Preferential biodegradation of phenazone, diclofenac, and valsartan was found under oxic conditions, whereas carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole were degraded under anoxic conditions. This study highlights the influence of seasonal variations in oxygen supply and temperature on the fate of organic micropollutants in surface water infiltrating into an aquifer.
