Determining the relationship between measured residence time distributions in lateral surface transient storage zones in streams and corresponding physical characteristics

Surface transient storage (STS) in stream ecosystems serve an important function in retaining nutrients and refugia for aquatic communities. Unfortunately, they can retain contaminants as well. Therefore, it is of importance to determine the residence time distribution (RTD). A RTD of a particula...
