Coastal marshes are important ecosystems providing numerous ecological services, including coastal protection, carbon storage, and biodiversity enhancement. Salt marshes are dissected by dendritic creeks dividing the marsh into distinct watersheds. The size and location of watersheds influence marsh hydrodynamics, which in turn, affect sediment and nutrient transport. Consequently, these processes shape marsh morphology and ecology. Current methods for determining divide positions rely exclusively on numerical approaches, which are computationally intensive, and do not explain how variations in marsh and creek geometry, friction, mean sea level, and tide influence the location of these divides. In this study, we introduce a simplified analytical model based on the shallow water equations (SWEs) to rapidly locate watershed divides in salt marshes with parallel creeks. We compare the analytical results with those obtained numerically using a two-dimensional Poisson model, a linearized form of the SWEs, alongside a two-dimensional Delft3D model, which solves the full SWEs. The proposed explicit analytical solution well agrees with numerical predictions. Our results indicate the divide moves toward the centerline of the marsh platform (i.e., the position equidistant from two neighboring creeks) as marsh friction, tidal amplitude, creek depth, marsh width, and MSL increase. Conversely, the divide moves away from the centerline for larger creek friction, water depth on the marsh platform, creek length, creek width, and larger difference in the geometry of the creeks. Our method enables to estimate the effect of man-made and natural modifications of marsh systems on watershed shape, and, consequently, on the water and sediment fluxes.

Confirm files deletion
This file will be permanently deleted. Consider saving a copy if it is
important to you. If this is the last file in the resource and it is public,
the sharing status will revert to private. If you are not the owner of
this resource, then an owner will need to reset this to public after a new
file has been added. If you want to replace this file, add the new file
first then delete the old one, so that sharing status does not change.
