| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
A comprehensive regional groundwater model has been developed for the Township of Langley aquifer system using MODFLOW modelling code based on a rigorous data gathering and review exercise, and the model is being used by the TOL as a groundwater management tool. The model was initially developed in 2003 and has been recently updated to incorporate changes to groundwater extraction, and land development as well as additional hydrogeologic information that have been gathered since the initial model development. The updated model is now being used by the Township to determine the long-term availability of groundwater to support future demand and aquatic needs by evaluating the effects of future municipal extraction and land use development scenarios on water levels in aquifers, and baseflows to aquatic habitats. |
