Episodic Master Recession Model Output used for Recharge Estimation in a Rain Garden on Sandy Soil, Gary, Indiana, 2016-18
A rain garden and other stormwater control measures (SCM) were installed at Gary City Hall in Gary, Indiana to retain water, increase infiltration and divert stormwater from city sewers. Input data were collected from a rain gage and five monitoring wells with installed pressure transducers at different locations (BFPK, CH1, CH2, CH3, GWPK; see site description). The Episodic Master Recession or EMR method (Heppner and Nimmo, 2005) is applied using these data as the singular input to estimate the amount of groundwater recharge at each of the five sites during the indicated period of time.
