USGS Scientist Liam Kenefic checking the Groundwater-level after lowering the sampling pump into the 393104075122201 MW36 Observation well. This reading helps determine that the pump is in the appropriate placement once pumping begins to help ensure the sonde is collecting field parameters have reached stability to determine that sampling can occur.

Groundwater that drains to surface water through seeps and springs is generally referred to as “discharge.” Groundwater discharge is a primary component of stream base flow, or streamflow that occurs between storms, periods of snowmelt runoff, and periods of quick soil drainage.
