Storm hydrograph comparisons of subsurface pipe and stream channel discharge in a small, forested watershed in northern California

Abstract

The term piping has been used to describe subsurface erosion processes and concentrated subsurface water discharge. Physical features created by piping have been termed pipes. Piping can occur in natural landscapes due to individual or combined effects of mechanical (e.g., corrasion), chemical (e.g., soil dispersion), or biotic (e.g., animal burrowing) forces normally occurring in subsurface environments.
