SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY:
The goal of the 2010 research program is to provide additional data that describes the existing surface water conditions at the site. This information is required for environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the annual temporal and spatial distribution of stream flow conditions, prec...
