Concepts

Water storage transfer between seasons, particularly winter snow storage contributing to summer flows

Lateral movement of snowmelt downgradient through soil zone toward topographic convergent zones to form streams

Creation of low elevation corridors through mountain ridges by water erosion

Movement of fluids through porous rocks after initial sediment deposition that can alter magnetic mineralogy and create secondary magnetic fabrics

Decrease in the total amount of water traveling down a stream, measured in L/sec

Concentration of water flow toward convergent topographic zones where slopes flatten and sparse conifer forests grow
