Preface

It is generally recognized that overland flow (runoff), surface–subsurface mass transfer, and subsurface water and solute fluxes are key processes governing contaminant transport in the landscape environment. The relevant interdisciplinary studies have been a prime focus of the hydrological society from the past century to the present, resulting in an enormous number of publications dedicated to model development, both conceptual and site-specific. Moreover, in the recent decades, a number of observations were made, evidencing the presence of anomalous phenomena enhancing or restraining water and chemical runoff from contaminated watersheds. However, it is not yet fully understood how both the natural and human-induced mechanisms, controlling these processes, interact and how the temporal and spatial-scale effects control these interactions under d
