Abstract
Sources and pathways of solutes within a 2 ha subalpine watershed in southwestern British Columbia are described. Observations indicate that water flowpaths are non-uniform in time and space. Spatial sampling of solutes confirms that surface, soil and groundwater movements and mixing are complex phenomena. It is concluded that soil-vegetation complexes are rational sampling units for hydrologic process studies in small watersheds, that unsaturated, transient saturated and permanently saturated soil water zones are useful solute sampling units, and that channel-based sampling programs should supplement rather than supercede slope-based sampling programs.
