      abstract     = {In this study, entropy production optimization and
                      inference principles are applied to a synthetic semi-arid
                      hillslope in high-resolution, physics-based simulations. The
                      results suggest that entropy or power is indeed maximized,
                      because of the strong nonlinearity of variably saturated
                      flow and competing processes related to soil moisture
                      fluxes, the depletion of gradients, and the movement of a
                      free water table. Thus, it appears that the maximum entropy
                      production (MEP) principle may indeed be applicable to
                      hydrologic systems. In the application to hydrologic system,
                      the free water table constitutes an important degree of
                      freedom in the optimization of entropy production and may
                      also relate the theory to actual observations. In an ensuing
                      analysis, an attempt is made to transfer the complex,
                      "microscopic" hillslope model into a macroscopic model of
                      reduced complexity using the MEP principle as an
                      interference tool to obtain effective conductance
                      coefficients and forces/gradients. The results demonstrate a
                      new approach for the application of MEP to hydrologic
                      systems and may form the basis for fruitful discussions and
                      research in future.},
