Abstract/Description or Keywords Because of importan role hydroynamicnvestigation i multi-ayer aquifer sytem with complex surface sytem
plays in water sutainbilty, multipe isotpic anlysincluding Deutrium, oxygen 18wer employed to identify
the groundwaterecharge, mixng, surface water and groundwater interactions and mountain sytem recharge
distrbutions in Northern Okangan comprisng of Dep Crek watershed and Fortune Crek watershed. The stable
isotpicompositons profiles of surface waters indcatehat Dep Crek obtains water fom localnd regional
aquifers in dry seaons, Fortune Crek recives groundwater fom regionalquifers in the main valey in drought
and lose water in the uper of the fluvial fan i wet seaon. The stable isotpic dat and plots qualify the
groundwater mixng, exchange btwen aquifers, groundwater flow path. The sources to moderate rgionalquifer
wer identifed withsotpic dat. Environmental isotpes providesignficant and specif hydraulicnformation i
hydrolgical studies.
