Runoff generation in a pre-alpine catchment: A discussion between a tracer and a shallow groundwater hydrologist
... ABSTRACT. Runoff generation mechanisms vary between catchments and despite decades of research in many catchments, these mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this paper, runoff generation mechanisms in the steep ...
