Project Goals To measure creekbank seepage using screened PVC pipes operating as piezometers and a PVC seepage organ, measure pressure gradients between creekbank porewater and creek, and measure dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations and CDOM. Two sites will be selected, each with 2 piezometers and 2 seepage organs, within an area of approx. 4 m^2 each.
