Hydrologic Field Measurements in Yahara River Watershed

These data are collected to support the Water Sustainability and Climate of the Yahara River Watershed Project. Hydrologic measurements include soil moisture, soil temperature, soil water potential, depth-to-groundwater-level, and water table elevation. They come from several different land cover types that are representative of the major categories within the Yahara River watershed of south-central Wisconsin. These types include forest, grassland, wetland, urban turfgrass-medium density, urban turfgrass-low density, and corn (WIBU sites). These data are being collected to observe differences in how water and energy are processed under different land cover types and to create calibration datasets for a separate project goal of creating a agro-biophysical model of the entire Yahara River watershed.
