What do we need to predict groundwater nitrate recovery trajectories?

Camille Vautier, Tamara Kolbe, Tristan Babey, Jean Marcais, Benjamin W. Abbott, Anniet M. Laverman, Zahra Thomas, Luc Aquilina, Gilles Pinay, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy

Summary: The study indicates that predicting groundwater nitrate concentration can be effectively approximated with a limited number of key parameters, while historical nitrogen input time series can be simplified without substantially altering predictions. Mean and standard deviation of residence time distribution can help make reasonable predictions at watershed to regional scales.

A hybrid-dimensional compositional two-phase flow model in fractured porous media with phase transitions and Fickian diffusion

Joubine Aghili, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy, Roland Masson, Laurent Trenty

Summary: This paper presents an extension of Discrete Fracture Matrix (DFM) models to compositional two-phase Darcy flow accounting for phase transitions and Fickian diffusion. The hybrid-dimensional model is validated by numerical comparison with a reference equi-dimensional model, showing better accuracy and physical consistency.

Flow-bearing structures of fractured rocks: Insights from hydraulic property scalings revealed by a pumping test

N. Guiheneuf, A. Dausse, J-R de Dreuzy, B. L. Parker

Summary: This study introduces a new framework for interpreting the long-term pumping test results in fractured sandstone and shale formations, along with scaling analysis driven by geological evidence. The consistent scaling of transmissivity T to storativity S provides essential information about flow-bearing structures, demonstrating the validity of different flow structures in the fractured rocks.

Competition within low-density bacterial populations as an unexpected factor regulating carbon decomposition in bulk soil

Alexandre Coche, Tristan Babey, Alain Rapaport, Laure Vieuble Gonod, Patricia Garnier, Naoise Nunan, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy

Summary: The bacterial traits in soils play a significant role in the decomposition of organic matter, but have received little attention. A bioreactive transport model was developed to investigate the interactive impacts of spatial dispersion and bacterial traits on mineralization. The study found that bacterial dispersion and traits have a substantial influence on the mineralization process of organic substances in soils.

Geomorphological Controls on Groundwater Transit Times: A Synthetic Analysis at the Hillslope Scale

Alexandre Gauvain, Sarah Leray, Jean Marcais, Clement Roques, Camille Vautier, Frederic Gresselin, Luc Aquilina, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy

Summary: The study found that geomorphological structures have a significant impact on the Transit Time Distributions in shallow aquifers, with the coefficient of variation linearly related to the average distance of groundwater volume to the river. With seepage, the TTD exhibits three separate modes and the coefficient of variation also depends on the extent of the seepage area.

A hillslope-scale aquifer-model to determine past agricultural legacy and future nitrate concentrations in rivers

Luca Guillaumot, Jean Marcais, Camille Vautier, Aurelie Guillou, Virginie Vergnaud, Camille Bouchez, Remi Dupas, Patrick Durand, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy, Luc Aquilina

Summary: The fate of agricultural nitrate in aquifers is influenced by rapid subsurface transfer, denitrification processes, and storage. Quantifying these processes remains challenging due to variable subsurface contributions and unknown aquifer characteristics. The study suggests that nitrate concentration in rivers is determined by aquifer flows stratification, with denitrification potentially controlled by the accessibility of reduced minerals and weathering interfaces.

Dynamic Contributions of Stratified Groundwater to Streams Controls Seasonal Variations of Streamwater Transit Times

Jean Marcais, Louis A. Derry, Luca Guillaumot, Luc Aquilina, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy

Summary: The study found that the transit time distributions of streamwater in the watershed display different proportions of old waters, mainly due to groundwater contributions to the stream. Seasonal variations in transit time are influenced by the variable contributions of different flowpaths and the stratification of groundwater residence times. A parsimonious model is developed to capture the groundwater contribution and its effect on transient transit times. Calibration of hydraulic conductivity, porosities, and tracer data successfully reproduces the concentrations and dynamics of the stream. Groundwater flow contribution is controlled by the hydraulic conductivity, while its age is controlled by the porosities.

Hillslope-scale exploration of the relative contribution of base flow, seepage flow and overland flow to streamflow dynamics

Nicolas Cornette, Clement Roques, Alexandre Boisson, Quentin Courtois, Jean Marcais, Josette Launay, Guillaume Pajot, Florence Habets, Jean-Raynald de Dreuzy

Summary: Surface and subsurface flows interact at different scales, influencing water partitioning between base flow, seepage flow, and overland flow. However, quantifying this interaction remains challenging.

Catchment-Scale Architecture of the Deep Critical Zone Revealed by Seismic Imaging

Sylvain Pasquet, Jean Marcais, Jorden L. Hayes, Peter B. Sak, Lin Ma, Jerome Gaillardet

Summary: Weathering and erosion processes are essential for CZ evolution and availability of natural resources. This study proposes a novel workflow using near-surface geophysics to characterize the architecture of the deep CZ at a catchment scale on a volcanic tropical island, revealing complex weathering patterns.

Frequency domain water table fluctuations reveal impacts of intense rainfall and vadose zone thickness on groundwater recharge

Luca Guillaumot, Laurent Longuevergne, Jean Marcais, Nicolas Lavenant, Olivier Bour

Summary: Groundwater recharge estimation in fractured aquifers is challenging due to the variability of soil properties and the lack of data. This study introduces a new approach that considers groundwater lateral flow and improves recharge estimation by analyzing water table fluctuations in the frequency domain. The findings highlight the importance of rainfall distribution and unsaturated zone thickness in recharge generation.

Recession discharge from compartmentalized bedrock hillslopes

Clement Roques, David E. Rupp, Jean-Raynald De Dreuzy, Laurent Longuevergne, Elizabeth R. Jachens, Gordon Grant, Luc Aquilina, John S. Selker

Summary: We found that the vertical compartmentalization of hillslopes has a significant impact on groundwater flow and recession discharge. Streamflow recession behavior can deviate from predictions made by groundwater theory when hydraulic properties are vertically compartmentalized.
