Hard rock aquifer architecture and water circulation levels in the Strengbach critical zone observatory (France) by Chabaux, François, Négrel, Philippe, Gal, Frederick, Viville, Daniel, Ranchoux, Coralie, Van der Woerd, Jérome, Delay, Frederick, Ackerer, Julien, Aquilina, Luc, Diraison, Marc, Masson, Frédéric, Mériaux, Anne-Sophie, Labasque, Thierry, Lucas, Yann, Pezard, Philippe Adrien, Reuschlé, Thierry, Schmitt, Anne-Désirée, Stille, Peter, Wyns, Robert, Lerouge, Catherine, Dezayes, Chrystel

“…Such a difference is associated with the existence of a knickpoint in the river bed, separating a downstream zone marked by currently active erosion from an upstream one, less prone to erosion, with preserved reliefs formed around 20 ka ago.The water circulation scheme within the Strengbach watershed involves two different systems: a subsurface circulation within the shallow aquifer, corresponding to the mobile saprolite horizon and the saprock, and a deeper circulation in the fractured bedrock. …”
