Short summary

We propose a novel modelling approach enabling swift hydrological surveys based on multiple conservative and non-conservative tracers to estimate water retention time, groundwater discharge sites, fractions of water originating from the discharge sites, groundwater recharge sites and sites that are especially important in regard to groundwater recharge. Thus we provide a whole lake hydrological survey while pinpointing sources of pollutants like colored dissolved organic matter and nutrients.
