    Abstract Contradictory interpretations of transient storage modeling (TSM) results of past studies hamper the understanding of how hydrologic conditions control solute transport in streams. To address this issue, we conduct 30 instantaneous tracer experiments in the Weierbach stream, Luxembourg. Using an iterative modeling approach, we calibrate TSM parameters and assess their identifiability across various hydrologic conditions. Near‐stream groundwater monitoring wells and LIDAR scans of the streambed are used to evaluate the area of the hyporheic zone and of the submerged sediments for each experiment. Our findings show that increasing discharge enhances parameters interaction requiring more samples of TSM parameters to obtain identifiable results. Our results also indicate that transient storage at the study site is influenced by in‐stream and hyporheic exchange processes during low discharge, likely due to the hyporheic zone's large extent and the relatively low water level compared to the size of slate fragments on the streambed. However, as discharge increases, in‐stream storage zones become part of the advective channel and the lower localized stream water losses to the adjacent groundwater suggests a decrease of the hyporheic exchange on transient storage. The results obtained were utilized to generate a hydrograph for the study site illustrating the dynamic evolution of in‐stream and hyporheic storage with varying discharge, providing insights into the expected influence of different transient storage processes prior to tracer experiments. Overall, our study enhances the understanding of the role of the hyporheic area and in‐stream storage zones in transient storage and helps estimate TSM parameters more accurately.

    Title translation HORA – Richtige Naturgefahrenkommunikation schafft Risikobewusstsein
    Abstract Over the past years, numerous large events have demonstrated how exposed property and even human life are to natural hazards. Protection against natural hazards is therefore a key responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Regions and Tourism (BMLRT). The insurance industry has also a vital interest in the provision of data on various natural hazards. Science provides rigorous analyses and the related knowledge base. Due to multiple major flood events in the last two decades, there is a trend towards an increasing risk awareness of the population along with an increasing interest in freely accessible information on natural hazards and on ways of coping with them. In this context, the BMLRT, together with a team from science and research, very successfully promotes a large number of awareness-raising measures, in particular on the HORA natural hazards platform, which has been successful for more than fifteen years. The latest modelling approaches combined with improved computer performance contribute to setting new standards with the expansion and ongoing updating of the extensive map series.

    Abstract Streamflow elasticity to precipitation, defined as the percent change of streamflow resulting from a 1% change in precipitation, is sometimes used as an alternative to rainfall‐runoff models in climate impact analyses. Elasticity is usually estimated from long streamflow and precipitation series aggregated at annual time steps while the climate impact analyses are usually geared toward changes at decadal scales. The purpose of this paper is therefore to understand how the elasticity depends on the aggregation time scale and the process controls of such a dependence. We analyze streamflow records of 7,053 catchments around the world over the period 1950–2016, and select 5,327 with reliable elasticity estimates for aggregation time ranging from 13 to 60 months. We find a significant scaling of streamflow elasticity to precipitation with aggregation time in 66% of the catchments which is much larger than expected by chance. Positive scaling occurs much more frequently than negative scaling. More arid/less rainy catchments, less forested catchments and catchments with a large base flow contribution to streamflow are more frequently characterized by a positive scaling. A random forest classification model identifies aridity index, latitude, mean annual precipitation, the potential evapotranspiration seasonality, the base flow index and the precipitation seasonality as relevant explanatory variables of the scaling. We interpret the sign of the scaling by non‐linear runoff generation in arid regions, by the effect of climate modes and snow processes, and by the regulation capacity of vegetation to transpire more water if the past years were wet. It is suggested to use decadal elasticities instead of annual elasticities in climate impact analyses in order to account for their scaling behavior.

    Abstract Statistical dependency measures such as Kendall's Tau or Spearman's Rho are frequently used to analyse the coherence between time series in environmental data analyses. Autocorrelation of the data can, however, result in spurious cross correlations if not accounted for. Here, we present the asymptotic distribution of the estimators of Spearman's Rho and Kendall's Tau, which can be used for statistical hypothesis testing of cross-correlations between autocorrelated observations. The results are derived using U-statistics under the assumption of absolutely regular (or

    Abstract Increasing floods and droughts are raising concerns of an accelerating water cycle, however, the relative contributions to streamflow changes from climate and land management have not been assessed at the continental scale. We analyze streamflow data in major South American tropical river basins and show that water use and deforestation have amplified climate change effects on streamflow extremes over the past four decades. Drying (fewer floods and more droughts) is aligned with decreasing rainfall and increasing water use in agricultural zones and occurs in 42% of the study area. Acceleration (both more severe floods and droughts) is related to more extreme rainfall and deforestation and occurs in 29% of the study area, including southern Amazonia. The regionally accelerating water cycle may have adverse global impacts on carbon sequestration and food security.
