Occurrence of groundwater

Saturated vs. unsaturated flow

Soil drainage and infiltration

Infiltration

Infiltration rates

Macropore flow

Macropore flow (interflow)

Forest harvesting and groundwater

Effects of ground skidding and roads

Effect of road cut on groundwater flow

intercepted flows can either be routed to the stream channel thereby altering streamflow hydrograph, or can be routed back onto slope below the road by way of culverts or cross ditches

Improper culvert placement

Landslides and pore pressure
