FLOW REVERSALS IN PEATLANDS INFLUENCED BY LOCAL GROUNDWATER SYSTEMS
Abstract
Piezometric head data from various depths were examined at two peatlands in Ontario, Canada and one peatland in Sweden influenced by small‐scale, shallow groundwater systems. Data from different hydrogeological settings show reversals in groundwater flow leading to discharge in topographically high regions of peatlands in isolation from large‐scale groundwater flow. It is suggested that subsurface flow within peat can reverse in direction in …
