| Notes | This article is linked to an article by Hale and McDonnell in the same issue of Water Resources Research. These articles concern the hydrology of subterranean water flow in the Drift Creek catchments in the Alsea River Basin contrasted with catchments in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The first article showed that water flow mean transit times were controlled by bedrock permeability. “This paper presents a process-based investigation of storage and release in the more permeable catchments to explain the longer [mean transit times] and (catchment) area-dependent scaling.” The authors postulate a discrete sub-alluvial storage zone to explain observed results. |
