Above are construction images of a study site at an un-named tributary to Tom's Creek in Heritage Park. I am inducing a head gradient(via dam construction) to encourage hyporheic flow through a meander bend of the stream. We will be mapping the flow of groundwater through the meander in hopes of being able to develop a 3D image of preferential flow paths. Knowledge of the frequency and location of these preferential flow paths will provide insite to the hydrologic and ecological structure and function of meander bends.
