Frequent discharge measurements were made during the winter of 1994–1995 in two groundwater-fed streams near Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, to evaluate the nature and causes of winter discharge variability in sub-Arctic rivers. Observations were also made of near-stream hydraulic head, snowmelt percol...
