dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the influence of topography on the desaturation rates of groundwater-dependent wetlands in response to changes in recharge. We examined sixty catchments across northern Chile, which feature a wide variety of landforms. We categorized the landforms using geomorphon descriptors, identifying three distinct clusters: lowland, transition, and mountain settings. Using steady-state 3D groundwater models, we derived flow partitioning and seepage area extent for each catchment. Each cluster revealed consistent seepage areas evolution under varying wet-to-dry conditions. Our findings indicate that mountains exhibit reduced seepage area compared to lowlands at equivalent hydraulic conductivity to recharge (K/R) ratios but are less sensitive to recharge fluctuations with slower rates of seepage area variation. Statistical evidence demonstrates that geomorphons-defined landforms correlate with desaturation indicators, enabling the prediction of catchment sensitivity to climate change based solely on a topographic analysis.
