[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 375662, member: 704"] A hydrological discharge wetland draws from ground water and discharges to the atmosphere. I worked for many years in wetland ecology in concert with hydrologists from other USGS offices. We used 80 wells from 18 ft deep to 480 ft deep to track water movement among 17 wetlands along a 200 ft elevation gradiant. Also monitored the conductivity range from 40 to over 10,000 along the elevation gradient. From recharge wetlands at 1800 ft to flow through, and finally discharge at 1600 ft. There is hydrological data all the way back to 1962. In the 1970s more wells and piezometers were installed, along with a complete weather station, including long wave short wave solar radiation monitors. Aquatic macro invertebrates were monitored, water chemistry was monitored via mass spectrophotometer, amphibians and reptiles, breeding bird surveys, vegetation one meter quadrants were monitored etc. If you want to debate wetlands and hydrology let's have at it. Allen you don't understand moisture deficit and why we don't turn into desert. Years Allen? 36.5 years [/QUOTE]
