Summary: Spring breakup in Northern Rivers are often associated with record water levels and often lead to flooding. Present methods of forecasting the severity of these events are hampered by lack of understanding. The acquired knowledge and understanding obtained from these studies will be applied to the enhancement of suitable models for predicting the time and magnitude of these events....

Principal Investigator: Sklash, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: 1. Determine the magnitude an timing of groundwater contributions to a stream during summer storm runoff events. 2. Determine the nature of the physical response of groundwater to a rain event. 3. Determine how groundwater chemistry affects surface water chemistry during runoff events....
