Water Stewardship Information Sources

Resource Name Mapping the Geometry and Lithostratigraphy of a Paleovalley with a Time-domain Electromagnetic Technique in an Area with Small Resistivity Contrasts, Groundbirch, British Columbia, Canada
Unique File Number 69
Information Type applied research
Surface Water
Aquatic Ecosystem
Groundwater A
Groundwater & Surface Water
Management for Natural & Industrial Hazards
Strengths
Limitations
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)
Outstanding Research Questions
Information Subtype geology and groundwater
