Abstract
Geophysical and hydrogeological data can be used to estimate aquifer hydraulic parameters and test alternative conceptual models of subsurface hydrology. Here we confirm the existence of a relic sand-dominated channel-belt in an alluvial floodplain using electrical resistivity tomography and time-domain electromagnetics. After converting the bulk resistivity structure to porosity, we use hydrological modeling to gain new insights into the hydraulics and compartmentalization of a heterogeneous alluvial floodplain aquifer system. We discovered that rainwater infiltration fills the initially dry channel-belt laterally rather than from direct infiltration from above. This new understanding of preferential flow paths around and into sand-dominated channel-belts outlines how the architecture of an alluvial floodplain determines its response to natural hydrologic disturbances, thereby providing an improved basis for making informed decisions about water management strategies.
