Raindrops to Streamflow: The Pathways of Water Through a Central Coast California Landscape - Livestream

When a raindrop falls from the sky, it can take many different routes through soil, rock, and groundwater before re-emerging at the surface in a river or stream. Understanding how water moves through our landscapes is vital to predicting floods and droughts and managing water quality in rivers and oceans. Over the past three years, Lauren and other scientists have studied the hill slopes and streams of watersheds located in the Diablo Mountains above San Jose and gained insight into the unique water pathways through the hillslopes around us.

Join Lauren to learn how rock and soil types influence streamflow, resilience to drought, and the impacts of wildfire.
