Challenges |
There are not a lot of bedrock data outside of the FSJ/Dawson Creek and Peace River areas and the extremely sparse distribution of surface water wells in most of NE BC. |
Outstanding Research Questions |
important water quality data gaps: a) the depth gap between the bottom of most water wells (usually `100m) and the top of most water tests in DSTs (almost all below 600m) |
