Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions. What hydrologic role does the meadow play in the greater watershed? How does meadow hydrology reflect watershed processes? What is meadow ET? How does it compare to watershed ET on short (daily) and long (annual) time scales?

Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions • What hydrologic role does the meadow play in the greater watershed? • How does meadow hydrology reflect watershed processes? • What is meadow ET? How does it compare to watershed ET on short (daily) and long (annual) time scales? • How do meadow processes play out in the downstream hydrograph? • How much water moves from the hill slope through the meadow and into the stream? • What is the resiliency of the meadow to perturbations such as drought or changing climate?
