______ streams receive water from the saturated zone.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gaining or effluent streams receive water from the saturated zone, which may be from groundwater discharge, springs, or precipitation that infiltrates into the zone. Spring loaded streams receive water primarily from springs, while losing or influent streams lose water to the groundwater system. Ephemeral streams only have water during and shortly after rainfall events, while persistent streams flow year-round.
