The estimation of young water fraction based on isotopic signals: challenges and recommendations

Young water fraction (Fyw) is defined as the fraction of water in a stream with a transit time of less than 2–3 months. Fyw is a metric used to quantify the proportion of precipitation input converted into the runoff in the form of fast flow, which provides new insights for characterizing the mechan...
