A mathematical approach to improving the representation of surface water–groundwater exchange in the hyporheic zone

It is well known that land surface topography governs surface–groundwater interactions under some circumstances and can be separated in a Fourier-series spectrum that provides an exact analytical solution of both the surface and the underlying three-dimensional groundwater flows. We evaluate the per...
