1. At baseflow level, water is coming from the springs emerging at the base of the Luxembourg Sandstone (at the interface with the underlying marls), with a very stable chemical signal.
2. After a rainfall event, the falling limb of the hydrograph is systemtically very steep and initial baseflow levels are reached very rapidly, indicating the influence of a rapid surface and/or subsurface runoff.
3. Discharge observed in the western creek of the Huewelerbach is stable and is due to very constant feeding through springs located in the sandstone, whereas the discharge of the southern creek gets higher contributions through surface runoff. Most storm runoff eventually is produced in the footslope area, where the two creeks converge. In this part of the basin, the soils are clayey (Planosol (Ruptic, Clayic)).
4. At peak flow, the overland flow contribution can reach up to 75 %.
5. The piezographs in the lower, mainly alluvial, part of the basin show a rapid reaction to all rainfall events. The water table is close to the surface during wet periods.
6. At the interception plot, located in a beech forest, stemflow and throughfall are continuously measured all over the year at very high spatial and temporal resolution. Average stemflow ranges from 5 to 6 % and total rainfall interception varies between 0 to 10 % in winter and reaches up to 20 % in summer.
7. The sediments exported from the basin originate principally from bed sediments, with major fluxes occurring during flood events.
