“…Methodological advances have increased the precision and resolution of measurements of HEF, which has been essential for biogeochemical research. For example, Anderson [22], Rau et al [23], and Ren et al [24] reviewed the use of heat as a tracer to study HEF. Knapp et al [25] outlined the application of the "smart" tracer system resazurin-resorufin to study HEF and biogeochemical turnover in the HZ, as described in more detail below.…”

Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding sediments along the river network. We elaborate on the main physical, biological, and biogeochemical drivers and processes within the hyporheic zone that have been studied by multiple scientific disciplines for almost half a century. These previous efforts have shown that the hyporheic zone is a modulator for most metabolic stream processes and serves as a refuge and habitat for a diverse range of aquatic organisms. It also exerts a major control on river water quality by increasing the contact time with reactive environments, which in turn results in retention and transformation of nutrients, trace organic compounds, fine suspended particles, and microplastics, among others. The paper showcases the critical importance of hyporheic zones, both from a scientific and an applied perspective, and their role in ecosystem services to answer the question of the manuscript title. It identifies major research gaps in our understanding of hyporheic processes. In conclusion, we highlight the potential of hyporheic restoration to efficiently manage and reactivate ecosystem functions and services in river corridors.

“…This solution relies on measurements from the LOMOS-mini, a sensor that is cost-effective (< 500 euros), easy to manipulate, and quick and robust to deploy on the field (Cucchi et al, 2018). This solution complements the set of available solutions for estimating surfacesubsurface exchanges (see Kalbus et al, 2006 andRen et al, 2018 for comprehensive reviews).…”

Estimating Hydrothermal Properties and High-Frequency Fluxes From Geophysical Measurements in the Hyporheic Zone

et al. 2021

Located in the critical zone at the intersection between surface water and groundwater, hyporheic zones (HZ) host a variety of hydrological, biological and biogeochemical processes regulating water availability and quality and sustaining riverine ecosystems. However, difficulty in quantifying water fluxes along this interface has limited our understanding of these processes, in particular under dynamic flow conditions where rapid variations can impact large-scale HZ biogeochemical function. In this study, we introduce an innovative measurement assimilation chain for determining uncertainty-quantified hydraulic and thermal HZ properties, as well as associated uncertainty-quantified high-frequency water fluxes. The chain consists in the assimilation of data collected with the LOMOS-mini geophysical device with a process-based, Bayesian approach. The application of this approach on a synthetic case study shows that hydraulic and thermal HZ properties can be estimated from LOMOS-mini measurements, their identifiability depending on the Peclet number – summarizing the hydrological and thermal regime. Hydraulic conductivity values can be estimated with precision when greater than ~10−5m · s−1 when other HZ properties are unknown, with decreasing uncertainty when other HZ properties are known prior to starting the LOMOS-mini measurement assimilation procedure. Water fluxes can be estimated in all regimes with varying accuracy, highest accuracy is reached for fluxes greater than ~10−6m · s−1, except under highly conductive exfiltration regimes. We apply the methodology on in situ datasets by deriving uncertainty-quantified HZ properties and water fluxes for 2 data points collected during field campaigns. This study demonstrates that the LOMOS-mini monitoring technology can be used as complete and stand-alone sampling solution for quantifying water and heat exchanges under dynamic exchange conditions (time resolution < 15 min).

This study investigates the spatial and temporal changes in groundwater levels and quality in the Palas Basin, a relatively-pristine semi-arid agricultural basin in T . Although groundwater is solely used as irrigation and drinking potable water resource throughout the basin, measurements regarding the dynamics and quality of groundwater were quite rare. The analyses were based on data collected from 12 water quality monitoring wells and 15 groundwater level monitoring wells during June 2019-May 2020. Water samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, total nitrogen, total hardness, alkalinity, chloride,sulfate, phosphate, total organic carbon, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and arsenic. Data analyses included hydrogeochemical analysis and multivariate statistical analysis such as principal component analysis and cluster analyses. Results showed that water quality in the basin is mostly controlled by natural factors, however, anthropogenic impacts from agriculture activities were apparent in some regions. The basin shows significant changes in water levels throughout the year due to irrigation activities. The groundwater quality was classified as either Ca-Mg-HCO3and Ca-Mg-SO4 type. In the majority of the basin, water quality was suitable for irrigation and drinking water uses, however, a few sampling sites had very high electrical conductivity, sulfate, nitrate, and arsenic levels. The high levels of nitrates were detected in areas, where agriculture is intense, indicating that agricultural activities might be affecting water quality. High sulfate, electrical conductivity, and arsenic levels could be related to the hydrogeological setting of the basin. This study showed that agricultural activities and natural factors were effective on the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the Palas Basin.
