Effect of the spatial distribution of physical aquifer properties on modelled water table depth and stream discharge in a headwater catchment

Water table depth and its dynamics on hillslopes are often poorly predicted despite they control both water transit time within the catchment and solute fluxes at the catchment outlet. This paper analyses how relaxing the assumption of lateral homogeneity of physical properties can improve simulatio...
