Episodic Hydrogeochemistry of the Upper Hadlock Pond Watershed, Acadia National Park, Maine (draft)
Heath R. 1990. Episodic Hydrogeochemistry of the Upper Hadlock Pond Watershed, Acadia National Park, Maine (draft). Technical Report
'The hydrologic response to precipitation events is dependent on antecedent moisture conditions within watershed soils. A strong relationship between precipitation depth and direct runoff exists only when watershed soils are saturated. Relating the difference between precipitation and runoff volume to pre-event discharge is useful for predicting hydrologic response to precipitation events.' 'The hydrogeochemistry of the Upper Hadlock Pond watershed was conducted. The primary objectives were '1) the chemical and hydrologic characterization of episodic acidifications in first order streams within the watershed, 2) a general chemical characterization of the precipitation, major streams of the watershed, and the outlet of Upper Hadlock Pond, and 3) the effect of antecedent conditions on the response of first-order streams to precipitation events.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Upper Hadlock Pond/Gilmore Brook/Hadlock Brook/Upper Hadlock Pond Outlet/Parkman Brook/Penobscot Brook/
