  bibo_abstract:
  - Water transit times and flow pathways are crucial elements in characterizing catchment
    hydrologic response. Understanding their variability in space and time sheds light
    on the link between discharge formation and water quality at the catchment scale.
    Here, we introduce a novel modeling framework to explore water transport mechanisms
    using the Hafren catchment in Wales (UK) as a case study. We show that a fully
    distributed hydrological model coupled with a transport component for conservative
    tracers is useful in analyzing how hydrometeorological conditions and spatial
    heterogeneity may affect water transit times and age distributions in a real catchment.
    We use the model to track the paths of water parcels that entered the catchment
    as rainfall over 2 years, labeling each day of rain individually. There is a reasonable
    agreement between tracer simulations and observations, suggesting that dynamic
    transit time distributions (TTDs) both forward and backward in time can be approximated
    using a high spatial and temporal resolution hydrochemical model, without assuming
    a priori any transit and storage selection functions at the catchment scale. TTDs
    are quantified for the modeled internal dynamics of the study catchment. TTDs
    conditional on a given rainfall time are mostly correlated to the season in which
    the rain event occurs, whereas TTDs conditional on a given exit time are mostly
    affected by catchment wetness. When TTDs for individual rainfall events are re‐scaled
    as functions of cumulative discharge, they collapse around a single common distribution,
    suggesting a potential characteristic catchment function.@eng
