Quantifying Groundwater Contributions To Streamflow Using a Multi ...
This paper describes the application of the BACH method in a nationwide study of 58 river sites across New Zealand to quantify the dynamic contributions of fast (near-surface event flow), medium (seasonal shallow groundwater discharge ) and slow (deeper groundwater) pathways into surface water daily flows.
Discharge is a fundamental characteristic of all river and stream ecosystems. Hydrologic measurements of discharge in the stream are made through a cross section of the stream channel per unit time.
Due to high vulnerability, discharges to these systems are exempt from standards and any proposed discharge to these environments needs to be considered and managed by the consent authority.
Furthermore, visual representations like the one above help us fully grasp the concept of Discharge Level Measured Contributions.

The mass load from a WWTP discharge contributes to the potential for cumulative adverse effects in the immediate receiving environment and beyond along side all other catchment contributors.
The surface water discharge generated within a grid cell was calculated by subtracting the upstream routed discharge from the cell's discharge . The local additions equate to the sum of discharges into the stream from the local cell area, such as baseflow, runoff, and interflow.

Water discharge and sediment contributions from various source regions. It gives the article a little more context before the image collection begins.
Time series plots of measured and modeled cumulative discharge values. It works as a short bridge between the article summary and the gallery section.
Results of EMMA compared to measured data: simulated (A) and measured. It works as a short bridge between the article summary and the gallery section.
Looking at multiple sources also helps separate the main idea from small decorative details.
