Globally, groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are increasingly vulnerable to groundwater extraction and land use practices. Groundwater supports these ecosystems by providing inflow, which can maintain water levels, water temperature, and chemistry necessary to sustain the biodiversity that they support. Many aquatic systems receive groundwater as a portion of base flow, and in some systems (e.g., springs, seeps, fens) the connection with groundwater is significant and important to the system’s integrity and persistence. Groundwater management decisions for human use may not consider ecological effects of those actions on GDEs, which rely on groundwater to maintain ecological function. This disconnect between...

This item contains a service link that returns the count of catchments having moderate risk to habitat degradation in the Northeastern States, which can be used to populate the Current Degradation Chart. In addition, it returns the geometry for the selected catchments, which can be used to spatially display the location of the catchments having moderate disturbance.
Figure 1: This chart displays the Risk of Current Degradation for catchments in the Northeastern United States.
This item contains a service link that returns the count of catchments having very low risk to habitat degradation in the Northeastern States, which can be used to populate the Current Degradation Chart. In addition, it returns the geometry for the selected catchments, which can be used to spatially display the location of the catchments having very low disturbance.
This item contains a service link that returns the count of catchments having very high risk to habitat degradation in the Northeastern States, which can be used to populate the Current Degradation Chart. In addition, it returns the geometry for the selected catchments, which can be used to spatially display the location of the catchments having very high disturbance.

Groundwater influenced ecosystems (GIEs) are increasingly vulnerable due to groundwater extraction, land use practices, and climate change. These ecosystems receive groundwater inflow, which can maintain water levels, water temperature, and chemistry necessary to sustain the biodiversity that they support. Many aquatic systems receive groundwater as a portion of their baseflow or water budget, and in some systems (e.g., springs, seeps, fens) this connection with groundwater is central to the system’s integrity and persistence. Groundwater management decisions for human use often do not consider the ecological effects of those actions on GIEs. This disparity can be attributed, in part, to a lack of information regarding...
