WHAT? Continuous hydrological monitoring, water origin and water chemistry
Collection of hydrological (water level discharge) and physico-chemical data (T, Major ions, silica, pH, nutrients, EC, DOC, minor and trace element concentrations, Stable water isotopes δ2H, δ18H) from spring/stream water (continuous water level, T, EC readings), and periodic collections of rainwater, snowmelt, glacier ice melt, ice and snow, and measurements of discharge.
HOW? Gauging stations (installed at intact/relict rock glacier, glacier, non-glacial spring, outlet), and biweekly collection of water samples of streams and their water sources.
