Abstract
Surface water and ground water watersheds commonly do not coincide. This condition is particularly relevant to
understanding biogeochemical processes in small watersheds, where detailed accounting of water and solute fluxes
commonly are done. Ground water watersheds are not as easily defined as surface watersheds because (1) they are
not observable from land surface; (2) ground water flow systems of different magnitude can be superimposed on one
another; and (3) ground water divides may move in response to dynamic recharge and discharge conditions. Field
studies of relatively permeable terrain in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nebraska indicate that lakes and wetlands in
small watersheds located near the lower end of extensive ground water flow systems receive ground water inflow
from shallow flow systems that extend far beyond their surface watershed, and they may also receive ground water
inflow from deeper regional flow systems that pass at depth beneath local flow systems. Field studies of mountain-
ous terrain that have low-permeability deposits in New Hampshire and Costa Rica also indicate that surface water
bodies receive ground water inflow from sources beyond their local surface watersheds. Field studies of lakes and
wetlands in North Dakota, Nebraska, and Germany indicate that ground water divides move in response to changing
climate conditions, resulting in a variable source of ground water inflow to those surface water bodies.
