Q. What’s the impact of wetlands on FDD?

A. Wetlands, if they function properly, tend to store surface runoff and gradually infiltrate the stored flow into the soil. Therefore, such flows would manifest themselves in the infiltration or groundwater component of flow metering flow data. The next CAC meeting will include a presentation on flow data and the inflow, infiltration, and baseflow components of flow data.
