Abstract Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water transport water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this paper, which component of Freshwater Synthesis, we review processes in terrestrial drainage how they function change seven hydrophysiographical regions (Arctic tundra, boreal plains, shield, mountains, grasslands, glaciers/ice caps, wetlands). We also highlight links between other components system. terms key processes, snow cover extent duration generally decreasing on pan‐Arctic scale, but depth likely increase tundra. Evapotranspiration will overall, as it coupled shifts landscape characteristics, regional changes are uncertain may vary over time. Streamflow with increasing precipitation, high low flows decrease some regions. Continued permafrost thaw trigger hydrological multiple ways, particularly through connectivity groundwater surface changing storage lakes soils, influence exchange moisture atmosphere. Other effects include increased risks infrastructure resource planning, ecosystem shifts, growing water, nutrients, sediment, carbon ocean. Coordinated efforts monitoring, modeling, processing studies at various scales required improve understanding change, particular interfaces hydrology, atmosphere, ecology, resources, oceans.
