Abstract

This package contains discharge and water quality data and model results at Coal Creek Watershed. Specifically, 1) discharge and stream chemistry dataset from USGS; 2) high-frequency measured stream chemistry dataset during the period of Dec 2015 to Jun 2018; 3) model results of water storage and flux, and stream chemistry of dissolved organic carbon and sodium for the period of 2016.

Distinct Source Water Chemistry Shapes Contrasting Concentration-Discharge Patterns

Journal Article Zhi, Wei ; Li, Li ; Dong, Wenming ; ... - Water Resources Research

Understanding concentration-discharge (C–Q) relationships are essential for predicting chemical weathering and biogeochemical cycling under changing climate and anthropogenic conditions. Contrasting C–Q relationships have been observed widely, yet a mechanistic framework that can interpret diverse patterns remains elusive. This work hypothesizes that seemingly disparate C–Q patterns are driven by switching dominance of end-member source waters and their chemical contrasts arising from subsurface biogeochemical heterogeneity. We use data from Coal Creek, a high-elevation mountainous catchment in Colorado, and a recently developed watershed reactive transport model (BioRT-Flux-PIHM). Sensitivity analysis and Monte-Carlo simulations (500 cases) show that reaction kinetics and thermodynamics and distribution of source materials across depths govern the chemistry gradients of shallow soil water and deeper groundwater entering the stream. The alternating dominance of organic-poor yet geo-solute-rich groundwater under dry conditions and organic-rich yet geo-solute-poor soil water during spring melt leads to the flushing pattern of dissolved organic carbon and the dilution pattern of geogenic solutes (e.g., Na, Ca, and Mg). In addition, the extent of concentration contrasts regulates the power law slopes (b) of C–Q patterns via a general equationmore »« less
