Hydrological Modelling of Small Scale Processes in a Wetland Habitat O. M. JOHANSEN, J. B. JENSEN & M. L. PEDERSEN Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering - Water and Soil
Objective of this study: • To simulate the detailed flow paths in Danish river valley containing protected rich fens and natural springs. • Understanding and quantifying the hydrological processes is an important step towards predicting the ecological responses in these habitats Relevance: • A planned well field close to the habitat area initiated the investigations Focus in presentation: • The process of gaining knowledge on the hydrological system Ph.

Main results from stationary model simulations Limestone aquifer River spring Rich fen
Water level measurements
Main results from stationary model simulations • Flow through rich fen: 1. 2 mm/day as average surface runoff -The flow is controlled by the vertical pressure gradient • 80 % of the discharge to the river comes from natural springs (and does not flow through the rich fens or the river valley deposits)
