| Resource Name |
The drilling and construction of seven groundwater observation wells in the Montney unconventional gas play area; north and west of Dawson Creek. Five of the wells were completed in bedrock aquifers 591 and 593, while two wells were completed in unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers 590 and 592. |
| Resource Purpose |
To better understand the hydrogeologic properties in bedrock aquifers 591 and 593; and in unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers 590 and 592. |
