Fig. 2. Vertical cross-sections of (top) Highway 27, (middle) Vivian Creek, and (bottom) Maskinonge riparian zones showing lithology and saturated hydraulic conductivity (cm d1) for piezometer openings (dots). The < term indicates hydraulic conductivity of <0.2 cm d1. Dashed lines indicate the maximum and minimum water table positions during 20002002. Vertical arrows indicate the position of the riparianfield perimeter and stream bank. Numbers above represent piezometer nests and soil sampling locations.
