摘要
The impacts of spatial and temporal variations of snowmelt recharge on subsurface flow in a small mountainous watershed were investigated using field measurements and numerical simulations. A two-dimensional, variably saturated flow model (VAM2D) was used to characterize the hillslope aquifer and to delineate subsurface flow mechanisms. Spatially varying snowmelt along a hillslope transect described in the preceding paper were used as input for the subsurface flow analyses. Simulations indicated that the heterogeneous hillslope aquifer provides hydrogeological conditions for confined and unconfined groundwater flow depending on the extent of snowmelt recharge. The spatial and temporal distribution and amount of snowmelt recharge play important roles in determining when flow is governed by confined and unconfined flow. Results showed that the VAM2D model was able to simulate piezometric measurements reasonably using calibrated hydraulic parameters. Sensitivity analyses showed that the flow regime was considerably different when the spatial variation of snowmelt was' not considered.
