Abstract
This paper examines the methodology involved in intensive snowmelt runoff studies at Turkey Lakes Watershed, Canada. These studies focus on understanding the pathways of snowmelt water within the snowpack and through the terrestrial portion of the ecosystem. Mixing of snowmelt or snowmelt induced runoff water and lakewater is investigated.
