Boise Front          Collaboration         

 

 

The Dry Creek Experimental Watershed was established in 1999 to investigate hydrologic processes in the semi-arid foothills terrain overlooking the city of Boise, Idaho. The watershed is instrumented with three meteorological stations and seven stream gaging stations. Multiple sub-basin sites are instrumented for ongoing investigations into geochemistry, groundwater recharge, infiltration, basin precipitation processing, soil water distribution, streamflow generation, and runoff over multiple scales. Current collaboration in the watershed brings together researchers from the fields of hydrology, geochemistry, engineering, and mathematics.
