Multiple, distinct groundwater flow systems of a single moraine–talus feature in an alpine watershed

Recent studies suggest that talus slopes and moraines likely play an important role in groundwater flow and storage in alpine watersheds, though the subsurface processes of these unconsolidated sediment features are not fully understood. To gain insight into these groundwater systems, we investigated the spatial variability in groundwater properties and hydrological trends of a large spring and several nearby (⩽200m) springs, discharging from a …
