Landscapes receive water from rain and snow, and then release it as "blue water" that flows downward to streams and "green water" that flows upward to vegetation. How they do this shapes floods, droughts, biogeochemical cycles, and the health of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This talk will outline key surprises that have changed our understanding of how landscapes transport, store, and release water, with implications for both trees and streams.
