• Recharge occurs <strong>on</strong> lower slopes <strong>of</strong> catchment<br />

– Recharge temperatures close to mean annual air<br />

temperature and higher than expected for direct<br />

infiltrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> snowmelt<br />

– Low excess air – minimal recharge through<br />

fractured rock<br />

– d 13 C <strong>of</strong> DIC indicates exchange with soil gas CO 2<br />

• <strong>Groundwater</strong> (even deep groundwater) in<br />

upstream porti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> basin is young
