Modelling of Hydrological Processes in the Narew Catchment

This book focuses on the modelling of flow paths that affect the fluxes of dissolved compounds from a small agricultural catchment (the Narew Catchment) during snowmelt, as this is the dominant hydrological event in many moderate and high latitude catchments.

Since climate and land use strongly affect the runoff pattern and intensity of solute export, it is likely that some observations and conclusions formulated on the basis of investigations carried out in forested catchment may not be fully adequate to describe controls on solute export from agricultural watersheds. The primary objective of the present research is to better understand the flow paths that affect the fluxes of dissolved compounds from a small agricultural catchment during snowmelt. This book focuses on spring snowmelt, because this is the dominant hydrological event in many moderate and high latitude catchments and, thus, is regarded as a prominent factor influencing the quality of surface waters

Helps to better understand the flow paths that affect the fluxes of dissolved compounds from a small agricultural catchment during snowmelt Focuses on spring snowmelt which is the dominant hydrological event in many moderate and high latitude catchments Emphasizes the importance of hydrological events in effecting both the hydrological and chemical response of surface waters
