The hyporheic exchange (HE) is defined as the interaction between stream water and groundwater, where the stream water passes back and forth between the active channel and subsurface flow paths (Runkel, 1998). The zone of this exchange is characterized by saturated pore spaces, under sand or gravel stream beds (Hancock, 2002) and near the adjacent banks of the stream (Ryan, 2010), that contain ...

Stream channel development in forested areas is profoundly influenced by large organic debris (logs , limbs and rootwads greater than 10 cm in diameter) in the channels. In low gradient meandering streams large organic debris enters the channel through bank erosion , mass wasting, blowdown, and collapse of trees due to ice loading. In small streams large organic debris may locally influence cha...

A detention basin is designed for storm water quantity and quality controls. An in-stream basin is often located on a widened floodplain, while an off-stream basin can be part of open space in a parking lot, park, or sport field. The inflow channel associated with an off-stream basin is allowed to carry its base flow not to exceed the downstream capacity. When the inflow channel is full, the ex...

[1] Hyporheic exchange flows were simulated using MODFLOW and MODPATH to estimate relative effects of channel morphologic features on the extent of the hyporheic zone, on hyporheic exchange flow, and on the residence time of stream water in the hyporheic zone. Four stream reaches were compared in order to examine the influence of stream size and channel constraint. Within stream reaches, the in...

Riparian zones with extensive groundwater seeps may allow short-circuiting of groundwater to stream channels and modify groundwater contact with shallow organic soil layers in riparian areas. The controls on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export to an Appalachian headwater stream were examined at Baldwin Creek (southwestern Pennsylvania), where baseflow is derived from multiple surface seeps. D...

In CDMA (Code - Division Multiple - Access) systems multi - user accessing of a channel is possible. Under the assumptions of Optimum multi - user and decorrelating detector in CDMA systems. By using signals with zero and / or identical cross correlations, a simple and expandable decorrelating detector with optimum efficiency which can be easily implemented are proposed. Constructing these sign...
