Stream water–groundwater (SW‐GW) interactions and hydrological connectivity are two important processes that drive much of the variability seen in streamflow characteristics. Measurement “snapshots” of hillslope flowpath connections (Bracken et al., 2013; Nippgen, McGlynn, & Emanuel, 2015) and SW‐GW gradients and associated biogeochemical patterns (Lautz & Fanelli, 2008; Vidon & Hill, 2004) are commonly used to categorize different characteristics or states of catchment and stream response. Studies that have fine resolution or long‐term datasets still often distill this information by displaying representative periods or events (e.g., Nippgen, McGlynn, & Emanual, 2015). Although these snapshot approaches provide useful information, they can oversimplify complex interactions or conceal the varying time scales (e.g., event responses nested within seasonal dynamics) of hillslope connectivity and SW‐GW interactions, shifts, and flow reversals. Because of these issues, catchment hydrologists have been encouraged to move beyond the snapshot approach (e.g., Bracken et al., 2013). Perennial streams in headwaters of humid climates are common foci for catchment hydrology. In these perennial reaches, the degree of hillslope connectivity and SW‐GW gradient magnitudes and directions can temporally shift on seasonal or event bases dependent on hydrological characteristics such as catchment storage and hydromorphology (Jencso et al., 2009; Nippgen et al., 2015; Rodhe & Seibert, 2011; Todd, 1955). Although these perennial streams are often viewed within a gaining stream system framework (Winter, Harvey, Franke, & Alley, 1999), little work has characterized temporal SW‐GW interactions and hillslope connectivity within the ephemeral and intermittent sections of these headwater catchments.
