Discharge (cms)

Figure 1: Relationship between flow discharge and reach-averaged factor of diffusion. The value of D
increases as power function with discharge.

Figure 2b: Mixing lengths as computed from mixing metric (Lx) and stream-tube method (Lz). Linear fit
shows an inverse trend between the two. Mixing lengths increase with increasing discharge when
computed through surface SSC while decrease when computed with stream-tube method.
