“…In comparison to the more anthropized section of the BF system, the residence times of the infiltrating water in the vicinity of the occasionally pumping wells are likely to be longer, because meteorological forcing alone is controlling groundwater flows (see Section 4.4). Since relatively low temperatures were observed at P4 and P5, it is also likely that higher viscosity, resulting in lower hydraulic conductivity, was responsible for longer residence times of the bank filtrate in the vicinity of these wells [48][49][50]. The longer residence times are potentially responsible for the high total Fe concentrations at P4 and P5.…”

At many bank filtration (BF) sites, mixing ratios between the contributing sources of water are typically regarded as values with no temporal variation, even though hydraulic conditions and pumping regimes can be transient. This study illustrates how anthropic and meteorological forcings influence the origin of the water of a BF system that interacts with two lakes (named A and B). The development of a time-varying binary mixing model based on electrical conductivity (EC) allowed the estimation of mixing ratios over a year. A sensitivity analysis quantified the importance of considering the temporal variability of the end-members for reliable results. The model revealed that the contribution from Lake A may vary from 0% to 100%. At the wells that were operated continuously at >1000 m3/day, the contribution from Lake A stabilized between 54% and 78%. On the other hand, intermittent and occasional pumping regimes caused the mixing ratios to be controlled by indirect anthropic and/or meteorological forcing. The flow conditions have implications for the quality of the bank filtrate, as highlighted via the spatiotemporal variability of total Fe and Mn concentrations. We therefore propose guidelines for rapid decision-making regarding the origin and quality of the pumped drinking water.

“…In Liu et al (2019) and Hecht-Méndez et al (2010) it is demonstrated that MT3DMS is able to simulate heat transport when temperature variations are limited, through the analogy with solute transport. If large variations in temperature are to be modelled (i.e.…”

“…Note that the potential impact of geothermal heat flow of an increasing temperature with depth on viscosity and density of the fluid are not considered. This assumption is reasonable as we consider a not so deep groundwater flow system (<500 m) where these temperature effects will be of minor importance (Bense and Person, 2006;Person et al, 1996), and where emphasis is not put on surface water/groundwater interactions where the impact on viscosity derived from temperature gradients may be considerable (Engelhardt et al, 2013;Kurtz et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2019;des Tombe et al, 2018).…”

“…Yet, it is often not evenly distributed in basins as thermal heterogeneities are observed in the increase of temperature with depth (Dentzer et al, 2017). Recent work has broadened the use of heat in a quantitative way by incorporating it in formal solutions of the inverse problem to estimate hydraulic properties and groundwater flux (Hecht-Méndez et al, 2010;Jiang and Woodbury, 2006;Liu et al, 2019;Munz et al, 2017;Rau et al, 2010;Rodríguez-Escales et al, 2020). This is commonly done with numerical codes that at least enable one-way coupling of the different processes, i.e.…”

“…Nonetheless, most of these studies (i.e. where temperature observations have been implemented to evaluate aquifer hydraulic characteristics) have been performed in shallow environments mainly for surface water/groundwater interactions/exchanges at depths of around 20 m (Bartsch et al, 2014;Bravo et al, 2002;Delsman et al, 2018;Engelhardt et al, 2013;Kurtz et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2019;Ma et al, 2012;Munz et al, 2017;Rau et al, 2010;Read et al, 2013;Shanafield and Cook, 2014;des Tombe et al, 2018) with the exception of the works of Masbruch et al (2014) and Irvine et al (2015) which present works for deeper environments (i.e. few hundreds of meters).…”

Abstract. Heat is a naturally occurring widespread groundwater tracer that can be used to identify flow patterns in groundwater systems. Temperature measurements, being relatively inexpensive and effortless to gather, represent a valuable source of information which can be exploited to reduce uncertainties on groundwater flow, and e.g. support performance assessment studies on waste disposal sites. In a lowland setting, however, hydraulic gradients are typically small, and whether temperature measurements can be used to inform us about catchment-scale groundwater flow remains an open question. For the Neogene aquifer in Flanders, groundwater flow and solute transport models have been developed in the framework of safety and feasibility studies for the underlying Boom Clay Formation as potential host rock for geological disposal of radioactive waste. However, the simulated fluxes by these models are still subject to large uncertainties, as they are typically constrained by hydraulic heads only. In the current study we use a state-of-the-art 3D steady-state groundwater flow model, calibrated against hydraulic head measurements, to build a 3D transient heat-transport model, for assessing the use of heat as an additional state variable, in a lowland setting, at the catchment scale. We therefore use temperature-depth (TD) profiles as additional state variable observations for inverse conditioning. Furthermore, a Holocene paleo-temperature time curve was constructed based on paleo-temperature reconstructions in Europe from several sources in combination with land-surface temperature (LST) imagery remote sensing monthly data from 2001 to 2019 (retrieved from NASA’s MODIS). The aim of the research is to understand the mechanisms of heat transport and to characterize the temperature distribution and dynamics in the Neogene aquifer. The simulation results clearly underline advection/convection and conduction as the major heat transport mechanisms, with a reduced role of advection/convection in zones where flux magnitudes are low, which suggests temperature is a useful indicator also in a lowland setting. Furthermore, performed scenarios highlight the important roles of i) surface hydrological features and withdrawals driving local groundwater flow systems, and ii) the inclusion of subsurface features like faults in the conceptualization and development of hydrogeological investigations. These findings serve as a proxy of the influence of advective transport and barrier/conduit role of faults, particularly the Rauw Fault in this case, and suggest that solutes released from the Boom Clay might be affected in similar ways.
