Measuring and Modelling Hydrological Surface Connectivity KU Leuven
Hydrological connectivity describes the internal linkages between runoff generation in upper parts of the catchment and the receiving water. It is quantified as the ratio of the runoff reaching the catchments outlet and the total internal runoff generation. It thus effectively bridges the gap between the point-scale separation of rainfall into soil water storage and (sub-)surface runoff as opposed to what we see as response at the hillslope ...
