Summary
Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) cables were deployed along the sediment/water interface to map high spatial resolution temperature variations along the streambed. These variations are used to detect zones of groundwater discharge. Data are to be used in conjunction with electromagnetic imaging (EMI) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. The combined dataset represents point in time mapping of preferential groundwater discharge points (FO-DTS), and the bed structure that controls where these points are located (GPR, EMI).

Purpose
The primary purpose of data collection is to distinguish zones of groundwater/surface water exchange along the Santuit River. This information is intended to assist The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and the Mashpee Wompanoag Tribe in ongoing studies and management of native brook trout populations.
