Abstract
The interaction between the physical and climatic attributes of a basin (form) control how water is partitioned, stored, and conveyed through a catchment (function). Hydrologic Landscapes (HLs) were previously developed across Oregon and are comprised of components describing climate, seasonality, aquifer permeability, terrain, and soil permeability for over 5,000 assessment units; they therefore represent hydrologic form throughout Oregon.
