The interaction between surface water and groundwater is recognized as a key process for effective management of water resources. However, scale dependency and spatial heterogeneity of the processes at the interface are limiting factors in the characterization of this process. A hierarchical, multi scale methodology has been devised and demonstrated to effectively and efficiently characterize the surface water-groundwater interaction along a 2-km reach in Kirmir stream, Turkey. Our methodology starts with investigation of geological information at the regional scale. At the intermediate scale, thermal infrared imagery is utilized to pinpoint groundwater seepage locations. Discharge measurements helped to understand the gains/losses. Point scale measurements including vertical hydraulic gradients, streambed vertical/horizontal temperature profiles and electrical conductivity profiles are investigated to characterize spatio-temporal variation in the vertical fluid fluxes. The results indicated that the study reach can be separated into three sections; upstream loosing section, downstream gaining section and mid-section with a seasonally variable character. Moreover, dam operation was found to control the exchange process a rapid rise in the river stage resulted in temporary reversal of the exchange processes. Analysis of chloride concentrations indicated that the lower confined aquifer is likely the source for the seepage at a fault-controlled section of the streambed.

Understanding Groundwater And Surface Waterexchange Processes Along A Controlled Stream Using Thermal Remote Sensing And in Situ Measurements Varlı, Dilge; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (2016-12-16) Effective management of water resources requires understanding and quantification of interaction between groundwater and surface water bodies. Moreover, the exchange processes have recently received increasing attention due to important influences on biogeochemical and ecological status of watersheds. In this study we investigated the exchange processes between surface water and groundwater along Kirmir stream - a controlled stream nearby Kizilcahamam, Ankara, Turkey. At the first stage, potential stream re...
Modeling One-Dimensional Nonreactive Solute Transport in Open Channel Flows Under Uncertain Flow and Solute Loading Conditions Tu, Tongbi; Ercan, Ali; Levent Kavvas, M. (2020-08-01) The study of solute transport processes in open channel flows is important for water quality management and environment protection. Solute transported in open channel flows is usually uncertain because of the underlying stochastic flow and uncertain solute source/sink conditions. Here a stochastic one-dimensional nonreactive transport model based on the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) approach is developed. The governing equation for the developed stochastic model is a two-dimensional FPE that can explain the ...
Comparison of groundwater recharge estimation techniques: a case study from the Kucuk Menderes River basin in Turkey Gundogdu, A; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Kirmizitas, H (2000-04-01) Quantification of groundwater recharge is a basic prerequisite for efficient groundwater management. While there are several approaches to estimating groundwater recharge rates, some of the approaches proposed cannot be applied in basin-wide hydrogeological investigations due to a lack of data. Thus, some conventional recharge estimation techniques for which data are most often available have to be used in estimating groundwater recharge. In this study, water level fluctuation, the precipitation vs water le...
New methodologies for optimal operation of water distribution systems for water quality purposes Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Mays, LW (1998-01-01) Two new methodologies have been developed for determining the optimal operation of water distribution systems for water quality purposes. These methodologies are based upon describing the operation as a discrete time optimal control problem that can be used to determine the optimal operation schedules of the pumps in distribution systems. One solution methodology is based upon a mathematical programming approach and the second methodology is based upon a simulated annealing approach. These two methodologies...
Development of water quality management strategies for the proposed Isikli reservoir Gunduz, O; Soyupak, S; Yurteri, C (1998-01-01) A two-dimensional laterally averaged hydrodynamic and water quality model (CE-QUAL-WS) is used to simulate the water quality behavior in the proposed Isikli Reservoir of the Ankara Water Supply System to determine appropriate strategies for the management of water quality.
