The Effect of Stream Discharge on Hyporheic Exchange

Streambedmorphology, streamflow dynamics, and the heterogeneity of streambed sediments critically controls the interaction between surfacewater andgroundwater. The present study investigated the impact of different flowregimes on hyporheic exchange in a boreal streamin northern Sweden using experime...
