Measurements of stream stage of McRae Ck and water table heights from a network of shallow wells located adjacent to the stream. Data were collected from September 1989 to September 1992 on an irregular basis to sample both baseflow periods and storm events across seasons of the year.
Stage height was read from staff plates permanently located at several location in the mainstem channel and in a small back channel; water table elevations were measured with a weighted measuring tape with a visible signal when the tape touched the water in the well.

To monitor changes in flows of stream water, hyporheic water and groundwater among seasons of the year and during storms in the fall, winter and spring. Data were used to parameterize a groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) which was then used to estimate fluxes of hyporheic water and groundwater through the study site. Water flux estimates were combined with water chemistry data (see CF004) to estimate nitrogen fluxes.
