A New Method for Identifying Actual Groundwater Contributions to Baseflow Using Both Streamflow and Groundwater Head Data

Grant number: DP120100253 | Funding period: 2012 - 2015

Completed

Abstract

Estimating the groundwater contribution to river flow is difficult but critical for managing water resources and protecting stream environments. This project will deliver better methods for estimating these contributions using existing stream flow and groundwater data.
