Freshwater hydraulic head and streamlines in the low Malm permeability scenario with the sole hydraulic effect of the Inn Glacier (i.e. model run A introduced in Fig. 3) a at the Last Glacial Maximum 26.3 ka ago (time = 1.037E5 a), and b at present (time = 1.3E5 a). By comparison, freshwater hydraulic head and streamlines in the high Malm permeability scenario with the sole hydraulic effect of the Inn Glacier (i.e. model run B) c at the Last Glacial Maximum 26.3 ka ago (time = 1.037E5 a), and d at present (time = 1.3E5 a). Streamlines indicate Darcy’s velocity field resulting from model properties and a constant surface temperature. White lines are isopotential levels at 50 m intervals. Vertical exaggeration equals five
