38 Impermeability Results December 29 events Reality Some infiltration occurs Reality Behaving impermeable Probe All watershed saturated Mohid orig Mohid imp Hint: Watershed is not impermeable but behaving has impermeable 38

39 Enxoé behaviour in December peaks Related to impermeability or resistence to infiltration (as impermeable) It could be ponctual behaviour related to high precipitaion event in October (65mm in 2h) Next actions See if this behavious appear in other level measures records. Ponctual or dominant behaviour Models are giving same long SWAT term trends MOHID of the system and with Mohid Land we may study event dynamics 39

42 Conclusions Concept model Long term functioning Precipitation 5mm Runoff 1% Percolation 1% 1 kgn/ha Evapotranspiration 8% 2% Nitrate loss is low consistent with extensive agriculture and data in river Soil loss is not high consistent with gentle slopes, natural vegetation and data in river. And arrives in few events. But high percentage of anual load arrives in 2-4 days..4 ton/ha 1-2 kgn/ha.6 kgn/ha 8% 1% 1%.4 kgn/ha Floods Floods rise in 1h 6h and fall in 1h-1d In flood arrives water with lower salinity (mainly runoff) but couple of days recovers initial salinity (groundwater replaces water). Soil sealing may be important for decreasing permeability. Models SWAT good results in long term dynamics and qualitativeli in WQ Did not managed to show Dec9 peaks (CN, hydrologic group, lower drained soil..). SWAT will not solve Enxoé peaks (hours). Mohid Land good results in long term dyanmics Developing tool to understand watershed dynamics physically and in events 42

43 Next Actions Continue Sampling Automatic Sampler protection against floods and mices (pictures) Continue modelling Pesticide in SWAT (but it is not a issue) Sediment and pesticide in Mohid Land Impermeability continues? 43
