The groundwater component of urban water cycles is largely unknown. Monitoring wells were installed in areas of Detroit MI and Cleveland OH to evaluate the hydrologic response of using green infrastructure as a water management tool on the neighborhood scale. The two sites are being monitored for both larger-scale trends in water-level gradient; and also effects at more local scales from enhanced infiltration attributed to green infrastructure practices and the significance of exchange with sewer conveyances. The presentation will focus on urban water cycle monitoring infrastructure design and implementation strategies, trends in preliminary groundwater data, implications for ecosystem services, and the importance of this data to water resources management in urbanized areas.
