Abstract: Interactions between surface water and the hyporheic zone are important for the ecosystem of streams. The parameter and processes within this zone develop their own gradients, varying with space and time. One very important process is the transport of fluid through this zone. The mean velocities can be determined with tracer experiments and depend on the morphology of the river bed (topography, sediment structure, poresystem).
