    Description / Table of Contents: Light-Induced Reactions, XI: Photochemical Cleavage of Linearly Conjugated Cyclohexadienones Affording seco-Isomeric Dienyl KetenesThe light-induced cyclo/seco-isomerization of linearly conjugated cyclohexadienones has been studied taking 6,6-dimethyl-2,4-cyclohexadienone (1) as an example. The dienyl ketene 4, kinetically unstable at room temperature, is produced in a spectroscopically simple reaction by u.v. irradiation of 1 in aprotic solvents and can be trapped at temperatures 〈 -60°C. The structure of the transient as well as the heat-induced seco/cyclo-isomerization reforming 1 is proved by means of i.r., n. m. r., and electronic absorption spectroscopy at 〈 -60°C. In addition to or instead of recyclizing 4 adds protic nucleophiles. When 1 is irradiated with u.v. light in the presence of water or cyclohexylamine, 2a or b is formed in a spectroscopically simple reaction in yields of 〉 95%. The constitution of 2a,b and the orientation of ligands at the doubly substituted double bond follow unambiguously from reaction products and spectroscopic data. Since 1* does not show any detectable emission other evidence has to be used to identify the photoreactive electronic isomer and the corresponding spin isomer. The quantum yield, which is independent of the wave length of the exciting light (313 nm: π*, π excitation; 365nm: π*,n excitation), is in accord with the formation of the energetically lower π*,n electronic isomer; the observation that the photoreaction is not quenched by piperylene indicates the occurrence of the singlet spin isomer, although an extremly short-lived triplet spin isomer cannot be rigorously excluded.  -  The equipment for the determination of quantum yields and the i.r. cell for use at variable temperatures are presented in detail.
    Notes: Am Beispiel von 6,6-Dimethyl-2,4-cyclohexadienon (1) wurde die lichtinduzierte Cyclo/seco-Isomerisierung linear-konjugierter Cyclohexadienone studiert. Durch UV-Bestrahlung von 1 in aprotischen Lösungsmitteln bei Temperaturen 〈-60°C läßt sich das in einer spektroskopisch einheitlichen Reaktion entstehende, bei Raumtemperatur kinetisch instabile Dienylketen 4 „einfrieren“. Ir-, NMR- und Elektronenabsorptions-Spektroskopie bei 〈-60°C belegen die Struktur des Transienten sowie die praktisch vollständig verlaufende, wärmeinduzierte seco/cyclo-Isomerisierung zu 1. Zusätzlich zu oder statt der Fähigkeit zu recyclisieren lagert 4 protische Nucleophile an. Wird 1 in Gegenwart von Wasser oder Cyclohexylamin mit UV-Licht bestrahlt, so erhält man in einer spektroskopisch einheitlichen Reaktion 2a oder b mit Ausbeuten von 〉 95%. Ihre Konstitution und Ligandenorientierung an der zweifach substituierten Doppelbindung wurden durch Folgeprodukte und Spektren sichergestellt. Da 1* keine nachweisbare Emission erkennen läßt, müssen für die Identifizierung des photoreaktiven Elektronenisomeren sowie des zugehörigen Spinisomeren andere Indizien herangezogen werden. die von der Wellenlänge des eingestrahlten Lichts (313 nm: π*, π-Anregung; 365 nm: π*, n-Anregung) unabhängige Quantenausbeute spricht für das Energetisch tiefer liegende π*, n-Elektronenisomere, die nicht stattfindende Reaktionslöschung durch Piperylen für das Auftreten des Singulett-Spinisomeren, Ohne daß ein extrem kurzlebiges Triplett-Spinisomeres ausgeschlossen werden kann. Die Apparatur zur Bestimmung der Quantenausbeute sowie die Küvette zur spektroskopischen Messung im IR-Bereich bei variabler Temperatur werden in einzelnen beschrieben.

    Description: Subsurface stormflow is thought to occur mainly in humid environments with steep terrains. However in semi-arid areas, preferential flow through macropores can also result in a significant contribution of subsurface stormflow to catchment runoff for varying catchment conditions. Most hydrological models neglect this important subsurface preferential flow. Here we use the process-oriented hydrological model Hillflow-3D, which includes a macropore flow approach, to simulate rainfall-runoff in the semi-arid Parapuños catchment in Spain, where macropore flow was observed in previous research. The model was extended for this study to account for sorptivity under very dry soil conditions. The results of the model simulations with and without macropore flow are compared. Both model versions give reasonable results for average rainfall situations, although the approach with the macropore concept provides slightly better results. The model results for scenarios of extreme rainfall events (〉 13.3 mm per 30 min) however show large differences between the versions with and without macropores. These model results compared to measured rainfall-runoff data show that the model with the macropore concept is better. Our conclusion is that preferential flow is important in controlling surface runoff in case of specific, high intensity rainfall events. Therefore preferential flow processes must be included in hydrological models where we know that preferential flow occurs. Hydrological process models with a less detailed process description may fit observed average events reasonably well but can result in erroneous predictions for more extreme events.

    Description: [1]  Timber harvesting by clear cutting is known to impose environmental impacts, including severe disturbance of the soil-hydraulic properties which intensify the frequency and magnitude of surface runoff and soil erosion. However, it remains unanswered if harvest areas act as sources or sinks for runoff and soil erosion and whether such behavior operates in a steady state or evolves through time. For this purpose, 92 small scale rainfall simulations of different intensities were carried out under pine plantation conditions and on two clear-cut harvest areas of different age. Non-parametrical Random Forest statistical models were set up to quantify the impact of environmental variables on the hydrological and erosion response. Regardless of the applied rainfall intensity, runoff always initiated first and yielded most under plantation cover. Counter to expectations, infiltration rates increased after logging activities. Once a threshold rainfall intensity of 20 mm/h was exceeded, the younger harvest area started to act as a source for both runoff and erosion after connectivity was established whereas it remained a sink under lower applied rainfall intensities. The results suggest that the impact of microtopography on surface runoff connectivity and water repellent properties of the topsoil act as first order controls for the hydrological and erosion processes in such environments. Fast rainfall-runoff response, sediment-discharge-hystereses and enhanced post-logging groundwater recharge at catchment scale support our interpretation. At the end, we show the need to account for non-stationary hydrological and erosional behavior of harvest areas, a fact previously unappreciated in predictive models.

    Description: Scarcity of hydrological data, especially streamflow discharge and groundwater level series, restricts the understanding of channel transmission losses (TL) in drylands. Furthermore, the lack of information on spatial river dynamics encompasses high uncertainty on TL analysis in large rivers. The objective of this study was to combine the information from streamflow and groundwater level series with multi-temporal satellite data to derive a hydrological concept of TL for a reach of the Middle Jaguaribe River (MJR) in semi-arid north-eastern Brazil. Based on this analysis, we proposed strategies for its modelling and simulation. TL take place in an alluvium, where river and groundwater can be considered to be hydraulically connected. Most losses certainly infiltrated only through streambed and levees and not through the flood plains, as could be shown by satellite image analysis. TL events whose input river flows were smaller than a threshold did not reach the outlet of the MJR. TL events whose input flows were higher than this threshold reached the outlet losing on average 30% of their input. During the dry seasons (DS) and at the beginning of rainy seasons (DS/BRS), no river flow is expected for pre-events, and events have vertical infiltration into the alluvium. At the middle and the end of the rainy seasons (MRS/ERS), river flow sustained by base flow occurs before/after events, and lateral infiltration into the alluvium plays a major role. Thus, the MJR shifts from being a losing river at DS/BRS to become a losing/gaining (mostly losing) river at MRS/ERS. A model of this system has to include the coupling of river and groundwater flow processes linked by a leakage approach. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Description: Hydrological response to earthquakes has long been observed, yet the mechanisms responsible still remain unclear and likely vary in space and time. This study explores the base flow response in small upland catchments of the Coastal Range of south-central Chile after the MW 8.8 Maule earthquake of 27 February 2010. An initial decline in streamflow followed by an increase of up to 400% of the discharge measured immediately before the earthquake occurred, and diurnal streamflow oscillations intensified after the earthquake. Neither response time, nor time to maximum streamflow discharge showed any relationship with catchment topography or size, suggesting non-uniform release of water across the catchments. The fast response, unaffected stream water temperatures and a simple diffusion model point to the sandy saprolite as the source of the excess water. Base flow recession analysis reveals no evidence for substantial enhancement of lateral hydraulic conductivity in the saprolite after the earthquake. Seismic energy density reached ∼170 J/m3 for the main shock and ∼0.9 J/m3 for the aftershock, exceeding the threshold for liquefaction by undrained consolidation only during the main shock. Although increased hydraulic gradient due to ground acceleration-triggered, undrained consolidation is consistent with empirical magnitude-distance relationships for liquefaction, the lack of independent evidence for liquefaction means that enhanced vertical permeability (probably in combination with co-seismic near-surface dilatancy) cannot be excluded as a potential mechanism. Undrained consolidation may have released additional water from the saturated saprolite into the overlying soil, temporarily reducing water transfer to the creeks but enlarging the cross-section of the saturated zone, which in turn enhanced streamflow after establishment of a new hydraulic equilibrium. The enlarged saturated zone facilitated water uptake by roots and intensified evapotranspiration.

    Description: In a study from 2008, Larivière and colleagues showed, for the field of Natural Sciences and Engineering, that the median age of cited references is increasing over time. This result was considered counter-intuitive: with the advent of electronic search engines, online journal issues and open access publications, one could have expected that cited literature is becoming younger. That study has motivated us to take a closer look at the changes in the age distribution of references that have been cited in Water Resources journals since 1965. Not only could we confirm the findings of Larivière and colleagues. We were also able to show that the aging is mainly happening in the oldest 10 to 25 percent of an average reference list. This is consistent with our analysis of top-cited papers in the field of Water Resources. Rankings based on total citations since 1965 consistently show the dominance of old literature, including text books and research papers in equal shares. For most top-cited old-timers, citations are still growing exponentially. There is strong evidence that most citations are attracted by publications that introduced methods which meanwhile belong to the standard toolset of researchers and practitioners in the field of Water Resources. Although we think that this trend should not be over-interpreted as a sign of stagnancy, there might be cause for concern regarding how authors select their references. We question the increasing citation of textbook knowledge as it holds the risk that reference lists become overcrowded, and that the readability of papers deteriorates.
