Understanding the interaction of groundwater and surface water

From U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):





Understanding the interaction of groundwater and surface water is essential to water managers and hydrologists for the development of effective water-resource policy, protection, and management. Groundwater/surface-water interactions include the exchange of fluids and solutes, which can affect water quality and water supply.
In this USGS photo, water quality and sampling equipment are deployed at a spring site near Roaring Judy, Colorado. Groundwater discharge that flows into the Upper Colorado River Basin varies in response to drought, which is likely due to aquifer systems that contain relatively young groundwater, according to a recent USGS study.
