abstract = {This paper focuses on the role of heat transport in
river-aquifer interactions for the study area Hardhof
located in the Limmat valley within the city of Zurich
(Switzerland). On site there are drinking water production
facilities of Zurich water supply, which pump groundwater
and infiltrate bank filtration water from river Limmat. The
artificial recharge by basins and by wells creates a
hydraulic barrier against the potentially contaminated
groundwater flow from the city.A three-dimensional finite
element model of the coupled variably saturated groundwater
flow and heat transport was developed. The hydraulic
conductivity of the aquifer and the leakage coefficient of
the riverbed were calibrated for isothermal conditions by
inverse modelling, using the pilot point method.
River-aquifer interaction was modelled using a leakage
concept. Coupling was considered by temperature-dependent
values for hydraulic conductivity and for leakage
coefficients. The quality of the coupled model was tested
with the help of head and temperature measurements. Good
correspondence between simulated and measured temperatures
was found for the three pumping wells and seven piezometers.
However, deviations were observed for one pumping well and
two piezometers, which are situated in an area, where zones
with important hydrogeological heterogeneity are expected. A
comparison of simulation results with isothermal leakage
coefficients with those of temperature-dependent leakage
coefficients shows that the temperature dependence is able
to reduce the head residuals close to the river by up to
$30\%.$ The largest improvements are found in the zone,
where the river stage is considerably higher than the
groundwater level, which is in correspondence with the
expectations.Additional analyses also showed that the linear
leakage concept cannot reproduce the seepage flux in a
downstream section during flood events. It was found that
infiltration is enhanced during flood events, which is
attributed to additional infiltration areas. (C) 2010
