abstract = {Shallow groundwater is a critical component of the
terrestrial water cycle. It sustains baseflow in rivers,
supplies root zones with soil moisture during dry periods,
and directly influences the land-atmosphere exchange
processes. Nonetheless, the integration of groundwater into
large-scale hydrological models remains challenging. The
most detailed way of representing groundwater dynamics is to
incorporate three-dimensional, variably saturated flow
processes in the subsurface representation of hydrological
models. However, such detailed modelling is still a
challenge for global hydrological applications, mainly due
to its high computational demand. In this study, a
free-surface boundary condition called the Groundwater Flow
Boundary (GFB) is developed to represent groundwater
dynamics in a more computationally-efficient manner than the
full three-dimensional models do. We evaluate GFB using two
synthetic test cases, namely an infiltration experiment and
a tilted-v catchment, which focus on groundwater recharge
and discharge processes, respectively. The simulation
results from GFB are compared with a three-dimensional
groundwater flow model and with an over-simplified approach
using a free-drainage lower boundary condition to assess the
impact of our assumptions on model results. We demonstrate
that GFB is computationally more efficient compared to the
three-dimensional model with limited loss in model
performance when simulating infiltration and runoff
dynamics.},
