HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Fractal Behaviors of Hydraulic Head and Surface Runoff of the Nested Groundwater Flow Systems in Response to Rainfall Fluctuations

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Fractal Behaviors of Hydraulic Head and Surface Runoff of the Nested Groundwater Flow Systems in Response to Rainfall Fluctuations

In this paper the authors have undertaken a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of nested groundwater flow systems (NGFS) in response to rainfall fluctuations and their influence on surface runoff. Through the utilization of a fully coupled variably saturated groundwater-surface water model alongside spectral analysis, the team delves into the fractal characteristics of hydraulic head and surface runoff across different scenarios.
