Figure 4. Assessing whether you've created the appropriate hydrology at a created wetland can be difficult. By analyzing the water molecule we can identify the sources of water at different depths in the wetlands. This approach shows that areas of the created wetland have the same ground-water source (a and b). Other areas of the created wetland (c) depend on rain water to maintain water levels and are expected to be drier in times of drought.
