Variation Of Groundwater Divides During Wet And Dry Years In The Wolf River Basin, Northeastern Wisconsin, Susan A. Borchardt
Variation Of Groundwater Divides During Wet And Dry Years In The Wolf River Basin, Northeastern Wisconsin, Susan A. Borchardt
International Journal of Geospatial and Environmental Research
Groundwater divides and surface-water divides do not always coincide, and groundwater divides are not as easy to detect as surface-water divides. Groundwater divides are also dynamic, moving in response to environmental and anthropogenic stresses. This study will investigate how different hydrological stresses can change the size and shape of the study basin and whether the stresses together mitigate or intensify the basin’s response. This study looks at three factors that may affect the size and shape of the Wolf River basin: annual precipitation, soil permeability, and the presence of high-capacity wells. This study examined four groundwater basins that represent the …
