Tennessee St, Tallahassee, FL 32304-7700, and MCKINLAY, Casey, Global Underwater Explorers, 15 South Main St, High Springs, FL 32643 Quite simply, quantitative groundwater tracing provides the only means of indirectly measuring hydraulic parameters that can be readily incorporated into groundwater models, which, ultimately provide the most widely used tools watershed characterization. Moreover, quantitative tracing also promises to bridge the gap between tracing and modeling because the resulting hydraulic data can significantly improve model c
