processes in a single computational modeling framework to improve
representation ofthe hydrologie eyele. One such advance isthe inte

cesses which improved representation of the terrestrial water cycle.
‘These physiclly-based integrated models can take many different
forms, but generally couple a representation of Richards’ equation for
variably sutureted subsurface low with a version of the St. Venant's
‘equation for surface flow (Aquanty Inc, 2018; Brunner & Simmons,AB Broil cat
2012; Kollet eta, 2017; Kollet & Maxwell, 208; Manwel etal, 2014).
"These equations are then coupled, or integrated, using one of several,
different techsiques. in general, the term “ully-integrated’ is used to
diferetiate those models that allow for simultaneous solution of the
surface and subsurface equations, whereas the terms “integrated” oF
“coupled is used to indicate models that iterate between solutions of the
surface and subsurface (Furman, 2008). The connection between the
surface and subsurface can also take many forms, including afistorder

hhave been completed in cecent years (ey Fan et al, 2019 Maxwe!

include informing policy and management decisions, and guiding

{Coodon etal, 2020; Council, 2000), and is intricately intertwined with
the terrestrial hydrologic eyele (Singha & NavarreSitehler, 2022; Su:
livan et a, In Revision). Reactive tansport models (RMS) are nu:
merical representations of biogeochemiesl reaction processes such at
respiration or carbonate weathering that allow us to understand how
‘external drivers (eg, meteoric precipitation) interact with the internal
strueture ofthe ritieal zane (Dully etal, 20145 Li, 2019; etal, 20173
et al, 2017b; Li et al, 2021; Sullivan et al, 2020), Given the
‘numerous processes that may be represented, the dimensionality
required to capture these interactions (eg, 1D-3D), and the timescales
of interest, a diversity of RTMs have emerged over the recent decades
‘ith varying degrees of integration with hydrologic models
‘At the most basic level is the one way coupling between either
‘complex physially-based, spatially-expieit hydeologie models (e-.,
FluxcPIHM; Dao et al, 2017) or simpler Tumped-parameter mode's
(QUBV; Hergsirm, 1995; Bergsizom & Lindstr6m, 2015) to geochemical
box modes (e., WITCH-Weathering atthe Catchment Seale; Goddérs
tal, 2006) Here, the hydrologic model passes sil moisture and water
fluxes to the RTM to simulate biogeochemical reactions and thus, pro
‘cesses such as mineral dissolution/precipitation and solute generation
and transport (eg., Sullivan et 3, 2019). One advantage of this
approach isi simplifies the compucational demand for tuning the RTM

abil, then fully integrated models are needed. CrunchTope (or
CCrunchFlow; Sicsil, 2009) is a widely used RT code that solves for
saturated flow (Le, Darey flux) wail allowing reactions to influence the
solid phase. CrunchTope is capable of representing a detailed distrib
tion of soil and rock properties inthe subsurface, and has been used to
simulate the long-term evolution of the subsurface under “averaged
Ihydroclimatie conditions (Wien etal, 2021; Xiao e al, 2021), Moving
‘out of solely saturated condition, there are codes such as Min3P and
PFlowtran that can solve for variably saturated conditions in the 3-D
tetrahedral mesh (Liver etal, 2015; Mayer eta, 2002; Sv eta,
2021) and even include processes such as dynamic root architecture

‘One limitation in RTMs, is their integration into spatially-explict
watershed-scale hydrologic models. While some models do exist, the
lack of spatially explicit information on soil, mineralogy, and biotie
processes limits the degree to which these models ean be applied. One
‘such watershed.scale model {s BioRT-Flux-PIHM, which ean simulate
ns between land surface, watershed hydrology, and reactive
transport at a variety of temporal scales (80 et al, 2017), These
watershed-scale models integrate watershed characteristics such as
topography, vegetation, and temporal hydroclimatic variations and
hhave some represeatation of subsurface structure to allow for pre
dictions of precipitation/dissoluion reactions in addition to carbon
dynamics (1), 2019; Xu et a, 2022; Zhi etal, 2019, 2022). But unlike
‘the capabilites in CrunehTope that can update the solid phase dist
bution, and thus porosity and permeability, chese spatially explicit
modes must first be paused and new parameters asigned to understand
hhow changes in the subsurface could alter hydrologic and therefor,
biogeochemical faxes, To this end, some integrated hydeologie mode's
hhave begun to include reactive transport (Moulton et al, 2015; Usman
Munir & Frei, 2021; 2. Xu et al, 2022), While these developments have
limited reaction pathways and/or the limited hydrologic conditions (.
8, saturated vs variably saturated), they are one manner by which RTM
fare growing to be more fully integrate in large watershed and even,
regional sale models.
‘Recent advances in RTMS allow for the heterogeneous and dynamic
nature of the critical zone to be better represented in numerical

‘experiments. For example, geologic heterogeneity can lead to complex
‘and variable Auld flow éynamies and thus, solute transpor, creating
challenges in our ability to predict geochemical proceses (eg, Nave
Sitchler & Jung, 2017; Wen & Li, 2017). Bflorts are underway to un
derstand the discrepancies between laboratory and eld based dissls
tion rates that arse from differences in physical heterogeneity, by
providing correction factors to linear transition state theory (yn
ft al,, 2022), elucdating the propagation of reaction fronts through
fracture networks (Andrews & Navarte-Sitchler, 2021), and developing
rate laws that account forthe overall degree of spatial heterogeneity in
‘the domain (Wen & Li, 2017, 2018). Advances in our understanding of
isotope chemistry are now emerging ae reaction capabilities within
[RTMs, particularly CrunehTope. Here the isotopic composition of bath
fluid and solid phase shed light on the dominant controls of reactions (e
{&, spatial variability in microbial growth, order of rate laws, and
dominance of kinetic vs equllibrism fractionation; Dr et nl, 20125
Drala etal, 2013; Druas etal, 2014). Modeled isotopic signatures
are improving our understanding of the interaction between critical
zone structure and function, for example: 1) multiple fractionation
pathways and flexible transit ime distributions are necessary to capture
incrasite variability in silica stream water concentrations (Vem=nde2

subsurface heterogeneity (Wen c= a, 2022),
2.2. Sediment and erosion
Accurate representation of streamflow generation processes and near
surface hydrologic dynamies impact the overall sediment budget of 8
catchment and are important for understanding sediment transport
processes (ieppner et al, 2008; Hvang 4 Niewann, 2008). Many
‘empirical and physteally-based madels have been developed co simulate
crosion and sediment transport processes with various levels of
complesty and data requirement (Nierst etal, 2002) Whlle applica
tion of empirical models such as the Universal oil Lass Equation is
preferred due toa smaller number of parameters, these models assume
that watershed properties are stationary (Zi ct 21, 2019). Physically
‘based models implement various formulations to represent detach
‘ment, transport and deposition processes, and use different model
struetures for representing hydotogie processes. With the exception of
few models such 8 GEOtopSed (etal, 2016), RIBS-OFM (Ki eta,
2012) and InfiM (Heppner etl, 2006), many erosion and sediment
transport models simplify representation of subsurface hydrologic pro
cesses due to diferences in temporal and spatial sales ofthe pheaom
‘ena end computational demand of solving surface water groundwater
equations simultaneously (Francpane etal, 2012).
Existing coupled surface water-groundwatersediment transport
‘models either simplify surface wate-groundweter coupling by using the
first order exchange coefficient approach (eg, Integrated HydrologyAE Broke cat
‘Model; InHDM, Heppner eta, 2006), reducing subsurface heterogeneity
by using soil classes and geological layers parallel to bedrock (e-.,
{GkOtopSed; 7! ctl, 2016), or simplifying Vadose zone and ground
water processes by using @ gravity dominated formulation and the
Boussnesq's equation under the Dupuit-Porchheimer assumptions,
respectively (eg (RIBS-OFM; Kin et al, 2012 and tRIBS-Erosion;
Francipane et al, 2012). Physically-based. integrated. hydrologic
‘models such as ParFlow.CLM (Collet & Maxwell, 2008) Maxwell &
Mille, 2005) that simulate the terrestrial hydrologic eyele as a contin
‘uous system by solving the 3D Richards’ equation over the entire sub
surface and has a full integrated overland low simulator and a land
surface model (CLM 3.0, Dai ct al, 2003) to solve water and energy
‘budgets at the land surface are valuable tools for integrating erosion and
sediment transport processes, The integrated hydrologic model,
HydroGeosphere (HGS; Aunty Inc, 2018; Bunner& Simmons, 2012,
Hang et all, 2014), whieh also simulates the terrestrial hydrologic
‘cycle as continuous system has been coupled to surface water opera
tions model, OAS (ro ops, 2009), and was developed to solve for
fluvial erosion using the excess shearstrese approach (irookticld &
Layzell, 2019) and is linked to 2 streambank stability module (Wi,
2022), Despite these advances, inclusion or integration of edimentation
and/or erosion processes into integrated hydrologic models remains
limited and computationally challenging as changes in land surface
elevation due to erosion ar deposition processes can lead to numerieal
instability for continuous situations,
23. Keolydroogy
Transpiration accounts for roughly 70 96 of precipitated water,
although this proportion varies dramatically with space and time
Cosechico etal, 2022), Given the importance of transpiration, most
hydrologic models consider the direct impact of vegetation on evapo:
‘ranspireton, In simple, conceptual hydrologic models, vegetation may
bbe implicitly represented asa parameter but in some integrated hydro
logic models vegetation is explicitly represented via a combination of
Parameters and submodels (Fatchi et al, 2016a) that can inelude
transpiration partitioning (Niaxwll&¢ Coodon, 2016). These submodels
‘generally account for vegetatio’s direct contol on transpiration and
indirect influences on evaporation, soil moisture, and snow accumula
tion and melt via eanopy interception and shading but vary substantially
in terms ofthe inclusion of ther coupled ecological processes (see re
views in Brewer eta, 2018; Fatichi eal, 20164),
Climate change is expected to alter not only vegetation fonction
(ovate use) but 20 accelerate changes to vegetation composition and
strueture (ste, density, rooting depths, heights, ete) (Hauser ot a,
2021; MeDowell et sl, 2022) as well as disturbances (eg, fire, disease:
Seid) et sl, 2017), Disturbanee driven changes in species are also ex
pected to intensify with climate change (eg Seiri-Di st sl, 2018),
these changes to vegetation structure and fenton wail have substantia
hydrologic impacts (eg, Makin et al, 2019) and thus there is a
growing need to represent vegetation growth/mortlity, community
‘change and response to disturbances including fie in many integrated
hydrologic model applications.
Models of ecohydrology vary along several dimensions (Patch ctl,
20166). The realism of the relstionship between vegetation structure
and radiative forcing varies from simple submodels, such as Beer's Law
with @ leaf area index, to complex submadels where treespacing and
2p, height, overstory/understory and/or sunlit and shade leaves ace
accounted for in estimates of the radiative foreing of plan transpiration
(onan et, 2021), Plant hydrauies or how plants mediate the Dux of|
water from soil to atmosphere similarly vary from simple models of
stomatal conductance to models that rack vertial and horizontal root
lstrbutions stem conductance and more complex stomatal physiology
(ecg, Javoux etal, 2008, 2013; Lin etal, 2019; Trugman etal, 2019).
Ecohyérology models also vary in how they account for changes in
‘vegetation structure and composition through time, including changes
Joa ef yg 6202025) 120515
‘that are coupled with hydrologic conditions eg, declines in leaf area
with drought (eg. Garcia et al, 2016). Eeohydrology models that
‘couple hydrologic models with carbon and nutrient cycling to grow
vegetation have been availble for decades and used within the land
surface submodels in General Cieulation Models (GEMS) or Eaeth Sys
tem Modes, These coupled earbor-hydrology models represent incre
‘mental changes to parameters that ae relevant to hydrology (such as
Iheight, root depth and leaf area) with variation in the availability of
light, water and nutrients (Arora, 2002). More recently coupled models,
‘that represent disturbances such as fire and disease are available (Soil
ce al, 2017). These models can account for how climate drivers
Including drought alter the probability and severity of disturbances such
as fire and disease that have dramatic consequences for vegetation (e.,
Hanan eta, 2021) and ultimately hydrology (eg., Keo etal, 2023)
Similarly several recent terestral biosphere models account fr shits in
species disieiburions with climate (Visher etal, 2022), although the
representation of hydrologic processes in these models remains limited
Considering not only species differences but aso between species in
teractions can have important hydrologic consequences (Prtzsc tal
2015) but this level of plant ecosystem complexity is rarely included in
hnydrologie models.
For hydrologic models that resolve channel low, ecohydrology in
cludes the impact of riparian vegetation on hydrodynamics (eg, effects
‘of vegetation on flu flow) and morphodynamis (Including vegetation
impacts on change in channel structure itself) (Caniporeale etal, 2013;
Marjoibssks ets, 201). The representation of vegetation change in
hhydzodynamic models is generally les well developed relative (0
coupled ecohytrology models used in the terestral environment.
Approaches for accountng for in-stream vegetation impacts range from
simple roughness parameters to models that represent changes in 1:
parian vegetation communities asa function of hydrologic canditions
(Camporeate etal, 2012). Similarly, modeling within channel biogeo
chemistry, including hyporheie flow and exchanges, has advanced in
recent years but these models of within steam and river ecological
processes are rarely included in models that aecount for both upland and
‘within river flows (lan ea, 2021,
Finally, the impact of human intervention on vegetation can be
significant. Both simple and complex ecohydrology models typically
represent human intervention as an exteral forcing (eg, prescribed
land cover change, irigation, fuel treatments, ete) (Wagner cal, 2019;
Yalew etal, 2018).
24. Anthropogenic activities
Humans modify the terrestrial hydrologic cycle in numerous ways,
Including construction and operation of dams and reservoirs, surface
water diversions, groundwater extraction, irigation, and land use
change ineluding wrbanization. Within the last millennium, 75 % of
arth’s land surface has been modified by human activites (iyssiert
ct al, 2014). These modifications ean substantially alter infiltration
‘capacity via impermeable surfaces and changes in evapotranspiration by
altering the type, density and distribution of vegetation, Some processes
related to these modifications have been included in hydrologic models
for decades, inchuding groundwater pumping and land use change, yet
challenges remain. For groundwater pumping, the inclusion of
‘numerous discrete groundwater wells and variable pumping rates,
‘common in agricultural regions, remains numerically challenging. The
representation of land use change is challenged by the variety of ways it
can Impact the hydrologic system, including changes to evapotransp-
ration due fo changes in vegetation (see ecohydrology), and local sale
routing of water in urban environments due to the construction of
‘impermeable surfaces and water collection and distribution systems (e.
«som water management)
Integrated hydrologic models that simulate the terrestrial water
eyele (@g. ParFLOW; Kollet & Maxwell, 2006), HGS (Aquansy Inc,
2018), GSFLOW (Wiarstrom ca, 2008) were erginaly developed toAE Broke cat
simulate natural hydsologi systems, with limited abilities to incoepo
rate anthropogenic activities, Almost ll watersheds have anthropogenic
activities and impacts, therefore including these processes is ertical for
Droper representation of the hydrologle conditions. In adltion, these
models ace ineceasingly being wsed for integrated water management
planning, which also requires inclusion ofthe anthropogenic water uses
and management infrastructure for proper assessment. In response, i
tegrated hydrologic models have advanced to better include the i
teractions between humans and the terrestrial water system. However,
‘one ofthe biggest challenges in integrated hydrologic model application
fs limited data availability of human water use (eg, groundwater
pumping, canal deliveries)
‘More recently, a number of packages have been integrated into hy-
Arologie models to capture anthropogente activities, Building. upon
fexising Frameworks that capture groundwater and surface water
pumping, modules were developed to capture irigation application,
including. variability in evapotanspiration and infiltration (often
termed irvigation return flow) due to irrigation strategy (eg. flood
irrigation, center pivot, subsurface drip) and water rights structure (¢8.,
Kilasten et al, 2021). These modules include specific agricultural
packages for GSFLOW (Niswonger, 2020), and processes integrated
directly ito the integrated hydrologic modeling codes such as ParFlow
land HydroGeosphere (Aquanty Ine, 2018; Condon & Maxw!l, 2013),
Hydrologic modeling in urban settings is particularly challenging due to
the high resolution and spatial complenity of urban land cover Sal
‘dove ets, 2075), Flow networks in urban environments are also com
plex, and hydrologie mode's applied to urban areas (eg SWRI Niazi
(al, 2077) include submodels that integrate storm sewer networks,
‘green infrastructure and stormwater control measures (SCMs), and
differentiate between connected and disconnected impervious areas (.
ll ex al, 2015). High resolution data i increasingly available for
turban areas and assimilation of this data is expected to improve hy
