Water Stewardship Information Sources

Resource Name A possible airborne mag survey to provide understanding of the upper bedrock in Horne Basin area.
Unique File Number 406
Information Type applied research
Surface Water B

Management for Natural & Industrial Hazards
Strengths should provide understanding of the upper bedrock in Horne Basin area which is framework for understanding groundwater. Boreholes used to validate aeromag data may be used as observation wells. Partnership possible with people capable of running LIDAR surveys would also be beneficial (Olaf Nieman (UVic); Martin Geertsma (FLNRO)) in better understanding.
Limitations
Challenges
Outstanding Research Questions Where are the aquifers located in the Horne River Basin area? Will areomag surveys parse out sedimants overlying the top of bedrock? Are there paeo-channels in the Horne Basin?
Outstanding Research Questions
Information Subtype geology and groundwater
Organization OGC, Geoscience BC and MeM and possibly other partners (Olaf Nieman (UVic); Martin Geertsma (FLNRO)).
