| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
is characterising recharge to a fractured bedrock aquifer in a temperate climate. The study area is Gabriola Island located in the Gulf Islands region of British Columbia. The study aims to assess how low storage fractured bedrock and seasonal rainfall patterns affect rainfall-runoff-recharge processes, taking a holistic approach. Current work involves using a coupled surface water-groundwater numerical model (MIKE-SHE) to simulate the recharge processes. The effect of climate change stressors on recharge will also be modeled. |
