Correlations were found be tween mean daily rainfall and groundwater inflow rate and between the rate of groundwater inflow and N and P inflow to a senescent lake during summer. A simple method of collecting and measuring groundwater inflow was reproducible at very low inflow rates. The water collected by this method was similar in P concentration to groundwater but higher in N concentration.
