1. A system for determining GW/SW interaction, the system comprising:
a sensing assembly comprising sensors for pressure, fluid conductivity, temperature, and transfer resistance measurements; and
processing circuitry operatively coupled to the sensing assembly and configured to receive data from the sensing assembly and process the data to provide a GW/SW interaction, wherein the data includes pressure, fluid conductivity, temperature, transfer resistance data; wherein each sensor in the set is spaced apart from the other sensor in the set a predetermined distance along the sensing assembly.
