“…The magnitude of groundwater/surface-water exchange on various stream reaches in the Ozarks ranges from values below measurable levels to hundreds of cubic feet per second. Examples of surface-water/groundwater interaction studies include Bolon (1953), Emmett and others (1978), Harvey (1980), Harvey and others (1983), Freiwald (1987), Imes (1989), Green (1994a, 1994b), Imes and others (1996), Kleeschulte (2000Kleeschulte ( , 2008, Moix and others (2003), Mugel and Imes (2003), Moix and Galloway (2005), Smith and others (2007), others (2009), andRichards (2010). Streams in the Ozark Plateaus were found to predominantly comprise gaining sections, with local losing sections, thus highlighting the interaction of surface water and groundwater.…”

“…The potential for decrease of the groundwater contribution to streams and subsequent stream depletion due to increased pumping or decreased recharge as the climate changes is an important issue for the region. Important aquatic species and diverse aquatic ecosystems have evolved to depend on groundwater input to streams, wetlands, and lakes, particularly during the dry season and drought (Missouri Department of Natural Resources, 2003;Moix and Galloway, 2005). Groundwater base-flow input also moderates temperature and affects water quality in streams (Freiwald, 1987).…”

“…For instance, Moix and Galloway (2004) found a range from 0.28-0.33 base flow index at the Buffalo River in northern Arkansas using BFI software. Likewise, Neff et al (2005) reported 0.70 average index using the PART model in the Greak Lakes basin in Canada.…”

“…Groundwater estimation methods have been intensively reviewed and discussed in the literature (Lerner et al 1990;Rutledge 1998;Scanlon et al 2002;Moix and Galloway 2004;Bent 2005;Brodie and Hostetler 2005;Delin and Falteisek 2007;Coes et al 2007). In Korea, however, Park (1996) and Lee and Yoon (1996) used the base flow separation method while Moon et al (2004) utilized the water table fluctuation techniques to estimate the groundwater recharge ratio.…”

Comparing groundwater recharge and base flow in the Bukmoongol small-forested watershed, Korea

et al. 2008

Groundwater recharge and base flow using different investigated methods are simulated in the 15-ha Bukmoongol small-forested watershed located at the southern part of Korea. The WHAT system, PART, RORA, PULSE, BFI, and RAP software are used to estimate groundwater recharge or base flow and base flow index from the measured streamflow. Results show that about 15-31 per cent of annual rainfall might be contributed for base flow. The watershed groundwater recharge proportions are computed to about 10-21 per cent during the wet period and 23-32 per cent for the remainder periods. Mean annual base flow indices vary from 0.25 to 0.76 estimated using different methods. However, the study found out that all methods were significantly correlated with each other. The similarity of various methods is expressed as a weighted relationship provided by the matrix product from the principal component analysis. Overall, the BFI and WHAT software appeared consistent in estimating recharge or base flow, and base flow index under Korea's conditions. The case study recommends the application of different models to other watersheds as well as in low-lying areas where most observation groundwater wells are located with available streamflow data.

“…Although protection of water quality is the main priority for BNR Park managers and scientists, water quality of the BNR is degrading, predominantly in the middle reaches of the river (Mott and Laurens, 2004;Moix and Galloway, 2004;ADH, 2018, ADEQ, 2018.…”
