Summary

The relatively young, low-relief landscape of northern Indiana is characterized by poorly drained, glacially derived soils and hydrologically isolated surface depressions. In the last century, installation of subsurface drainage networks has lowered the naturally high seasonal water table and made arable some of the most fertile land in the world. The purpose of this research was to quantify the interaction of soil hydrologic properties, subsurface drainage, and surface depressions on the generation of peak streamflow as well as the temporal distribution of stream discharge following rain events in a small, agricultural watershed. Several geographic information system (GIS) techniques were used to digitally represent the soil-landscape [...]
