The influence of hyporheic exchange on reach‐scale water budgets in a Precambrian Shield catchment, Quebec, Canada

Abstract The influence of hyporheic exchange on water and solute budgets of streams is widely identified as important; yet, there is a notable absence of research identifying its role in Precambrian Shield headwater streams. This research addressed this shortcoming by quantifying the proportions of solute mass loss, net and gross water gains and losses for selected reaches over a single summer recession period. Six conservative tracer …
