Water Flow

Water Flow is a hydrodynamic process in glacier hydrology in which meltwater and other liquid water move through, over, and beneath glacier ice under the control of gravitational and pressure gradients, thereby determining discharge, velocity, and drainage pathways within the glacial system.
