  • ABSTRACT We studied the changes in stream water temperature (Tw) and water quality (Wq) during rainfall events in forested watersheds. The parameters ofWq (88, DOC, N03--N, DTN, Na+, 8i and r) were observedinfour regionsof Japan from June 2004 to December 2005. The R values between Tw and those Wq parameters and between specific discharge (Qs) and Wq were positive, exceptfor the negativeones (Na+ and Si). Similarto the relationbetweenQs vs. Tw, hysteretic loops in the relations between Qs vs. those Wqparameters were clockwise, exceptfor Na+ and Si as counter-clockwiseloops. This indicatesthat the'surface and subsurface flows contain higher concentrations of SS, DOC, IC, N03--N and DTN. To the contrary,the deeperpathwayscontainhigherconcentrationsof Na+ and Si. These results suggest that the changes in Tw and Wq could be used to interpret theflow paths. KeyWords: stream water temperature, water quality, rainfall event,hysteretic loops
