| Title | Estimating Aquifer Recharge Through Playas of the Great Plains Using Temperature Probes |
| Creator | Rainwater et al., Ken |
| Description | The magnitude of recharge through playa wetlands in the High Plains has often been debated, but rarely been quantified. The ephemeral nature of water in playas makes it difficult and expensive to observe filling and drying/draining cycles. Rugged, inexpensive tools are needed to demonstrate the movement of water below the root zone to observe the recharge process. We performed proof of concept studies to evaluate temperature as an indicator of infiltration/recharge in playa wetlands.... |
