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 reaches where the exchange processes could occur were pinpointed using geological and geomorphological information. Then, thermal remote sensing was utilized to further narrow down the potential locations in which interaction could occur at a smaller scale. Nested piezometers were installed at identified locations to observe the variations in vertical hydraulic gradient over time. Differential discharge measurements were performed to understand the gains and losses along the stream reach. Streambed temperature measurements were taken at two different depths for a period of time using temperature loggers to calculate the vertical fluid fluxes through the streambed at various locations. Basic water quality field parameters (temperature, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solid amount, dissolved oxygen, pH and oxidation - reduction potential) were measured along the stream reach, from surface water and the piezometers as wells as from the nearby springs and wells. Chloride mass balance was performed to find the contribution of groundwater and chloride concentrations were associated with the geology of the area. This hierarchical, multi-scale methodology provided an efficient and effective way to determine the locations and the direction of groundwater and surface water exchange processes within the study area.

Characterization of groundwater and surface water interaction in kirmir stream using thermal remote sensing and in-stream measurements Varlı, Dilge; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Effective management of water resources requires understanding and quantification of interaction between groundwater and surface water bodies. The exchange processes have recently received increasing attention because also they have important influences on ecological status of watersheds. The purpose of this study was to characterize the interaction between surface water - groundwater in Kirmir stream - a controlled stream nearby Kızılcahamam, Ankara, Turkey. At the first stage, stream reaches with interact...
A Multi-Scale Approach for Improved Characterization of Surface Water-Groundwater Interactions: Integrating Thermal Remote Sensing and in-Stream Measurements VARLI, Dilge; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (2018-07-01) 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 i...
ANALYZING THE COMBINED IMPACT OF CLIMATE AND LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE ON THE HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSE OF JHELUM RIVER BASIN IN KASHMIR Hamid, Injila; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-7) In terms of efficient and sustainable management of water resources of a basin, land use land cover (LULC) and climate change impact studies hold utmost importance. Land use change dynamics along with the climate change owing to greenhouse gas emissions are altering the hydrological response of river basins. This study therefore focuses on quantifying the combined impact of LULC and climate change on the water balance components of the Jhelum river basin using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologi...
Tracking transformation processes of organic micropollutants in aquatic environments using multi-element isotope fractionation analysis Hofstetter, Thomas B.; Bolotin, Jakov; Skarpeli-Liati, Marita; Wijker, Reto; Kurt, Zöhre; Nishino, Shirley F.; Spain, Jim C. (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) The quantitative description of enzymatic or abiotic transformations of man-made organic micropollutants in rivers, lakes, and groundwaters is one of the major challenges associated with the risk assessment of water resource contamination. Compound-specific isotope analysis enables one to identify (bio)degradation pathways based on changes in the contaminants' stable isotope ratios even if multiple reactive and non-reactive processes cause concentrations to decrease. Here, we investigated how the magnitude ...
Exploring the added value of machine learning methods in predicting flow duration curves a comparative analysis for ungauged catchments Doğulu, Nilay; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2016-12-12) Understanding catchment hydrology is a fundamental concern for hydrologists and water resources planners. In this context, given the increasing demand for streamflow information at sparsely gauged or ungauged catchments, there has been great interest in estimating flow duration curve (FDC) due to its many practical applications. Statistical methods have been widely used for the modelling of FDCs at ungauged sites. These methods usually rely on estimation of flow quantiles, or quantitative characteristics of...
