Here are some of Tom's results for an idealized catchment. The turnover rate for the catchment is estimated by dividing the groundwater velocity by a catchment length scale. For Groundwater velocity, I used Darcy's velocity (specific discharge) divided by porosity (assumed 0.35). Darcy's velocity was estimated using the catchment hydraulic conductivity (assuming it is the same throughout the catchment and with depth---huge assumption), and using the land slope as the groundwater hydraulic gradient (big assumption, well data would be much better). For the length scale, I used 1/2 x the sqrt(catchment area), which is rough--we can do better with shapefiles and some GIS work. Given all that, here are some plots for decay rates of 0.0001 d^-1, 0.0005, and 0.001, for Big Muskelunge and Sparkling Lakes--I just wanted to try some with a significant difference in catchment size. | Here are some of Tom's results for an idealized catchment.

Here are some of Tom's results for an idealized catchment. The turnover rate for the catchment is estimated by dividing the groundwater velocity by a catchment length scale. For Groundwater velocity, I used Darcy's velocity (specific discharge) divided by porosity (assumed 0.35).
