The catchments had marked differences in terms of nutrient status, land cover and contrasting lithologies resulting in differences in the dominant flow pathways (groundwater vs. surface water dominated).
Intermittent flow was the dominant flow regime in upward flow while stratified flow dominated in downward inclined pipes.

If Pe number is less than 1, diffusion is the dominant flow.
