Short summary
In this study, we developed new tools for identifying potential hydrologic connectivity between wetlands and stream networks, which can better inform regulatory decisions and enhance the ability to better manage wetlands under various planning scenarios. The resulting flow network delineated potential flow paths connecting wetland depressions to each other or to the river network on scales finer than those available through the National Hydrography Dataset.
