Golder Associates. 2010. Surface Water Study - Horn River Basin (DRAFT REPORT). Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. |
| Resource Purpose |
The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (MEMPR) is collaborating with the Ministry of Environment, First Nations and the Horn River Producers Group (HRPG) in an effort to minimize the
environmental footprint of oil and gas development activities in the Horn River Basin (HRB). MEMPR commissioned Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) to undertake a surface water study of the HRB. The main objectives of the study were to gain additional understanding of the surface water availability in the HRB and potential for water scarcity as gas development activities continue to expand. The outcomes of this study are intended to assist surface water allocation decision makers and identify gaps in surface water information. |
