“…This is useful in the current context since the data required for a robust water balance (e.g. bathymetry (Trigg et al, 2014)) are not available, but the depth can be measured accurately using a pressure transducer. The numerical model used is:…”

“…This is particularly true for wetlands in arid to semi-arid climates that are mainly fed by groundwater during the dry season (Jolly et al, 2008;Trigg et al, 2014), or when they are situated within a particularly saline or contaminated groundwater system (Williams, 2001). To better understand wetland reliance on groundwater, to manage extraction from aquifer systems connected to wetlands and to protect wetland water quality it is imperative to be able to document the connection and quantify water and solutes fluxes between the groundwater and wetland ecosystems.…”

“…The primary reason for the paucity of long-term high resolution data is methodological; there are few options for unattended measurement of geochemical tracers at remote locations over long periods. Electrical conductivity is one option (Trigg et al, 2014), but interpreting EC data is not trivial as it is a bulk chemical parameter. This is especially important when chloride is not the major ion controlling the conductive properties of water (e.g.…”

“…Numerous hydrological investigations have sought to estimate surface-water storage in other types of wetlands (Trigg et al, 2014;Xu and Singh, 2004). For hydrological mod-ellers, an ideal approach is one that overcomes the need for often time-intensive topographic surveys and that is more practical for use in models at varying scales and locations.…”

Abstract. Beaver ponds are surface-water features that are transient through space and time. Such qualities complicate the inclusion of beaver ponds in local and regional water balances, and in hydrological models, as reliable estimates of surface-water storage are difficult to acquire without time-and labour-intensive topographic surveys. A simpler approach to overcome this challenge is needed, given the abundance of the beaver ponds in North America, Eurasia, and southern South America. We investigated whether simple morphometric characteristics derived from readily available aerial imagery or quickly measured field attributes of beaver ponds can be used to approximate surface-water storage among the range of environmental settings in which beaver ponds are found. Studied were a total of 40 beaver ponds from four different sites in North and South America. The simplified volume-area-depth (V-A-h) approach, originally developed for prairie potholes, was tested. With only two measurements of pond depth and corresponding surface area, this method estimated surface-water storage in beaver ponds within 5 % on average. Beaver pond morphometry was characterized by a median basin coefficient of 0.91, and dam length and pond surface area were strongly correlated with beaver pond storage capacity, regardless of geographic setting. These attributes provide a means for coarsely estimating surface-water storage capacity in beaver ponds. Overall, this research demonstrates that reliable estimates of surfacewater storage in beaver ponds only requires simple measurements derived from aerial imagery and/or brief visits to the field. Future research efforts should be directed at incorporating these simple methods into both broader beaver-related tools and catchment-scale hydrological models.

“…A more recent study [45] was focused on the use of a fully integrated numerical model to quantify the magnitude, temporal variability and spatial distribution of water fluxes at the groundwater-surface water interface in the Rokua esker aquifer (Finland). Groundwater-surface water exchange fluxes (heat, water and solutes) have also been the focus of several studies [46][47][48] that have contributed to the development of fully integrated modelling tools that are capable of reproducing the observed groundwater-surface water exchange processes [45]. Simplified numerical models of interaction between soil water and groundwater have also been used to study impacts of groundwater on global-scale climate and vegetation distribution [49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

A Review of Advances in the Identification and Characterization of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Using Geospatial Technologies

Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) protection is increasingly being recognized as essential for the sustainable management and allocation of water resources. GDE services are crucial for human well-being and for a variety of flora and fauna. However, the conservation of GDEs is only possible if knowledge about their location and extent is available. Several studies have focused on the identification of GDEs at specific locations using ground-based measurements. However, recent progress in remote sensing technologies and their integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has provided alternative ways to map GDEs at a much larger spatial extent. This paper presents a review of the geospatial methods that have been used to map and delineate GDEs at spatial different extents. Additionally, a summary of the satellite sensors useful for identification of GDEs and the integration of remote sensing data with ground-based measurements in the process of mapping GDEs is presented.
