To evaluate specific details of water and elemental movement through a forest ecosystem, a lysimeter detection and recording system has been perfected and installed in an area of the Cedar River watershed of the city of Seattle. The lysimeter system allows collection of data pertinent to watershed management that is not possible with the small treated‐watershed approach. The system also facilitates the study of both the forest and the soil in relation to subsurface flow.
