Groundwater and Surface Water Interaction in the Englishman River Watershed • by Dr. Gilles Wendling, Hydrogeologist, P.Eng., and President of GW Solutions Inc. • This is Part 3 of a series of presentations describing the findings of our 2-year study of groundwater and surface water interaction in the Englishman River lower watershed. The slides were developed for a public presentation given in Parksville, British Columbia, Canada, on Friday, November 4th, 2011. • Part 1 focuses on the identifications of aquifers in the lower Englishman River Watershed and the methodology used for the study. • Part 2 focuses on the assessment of the flux of groundwater discharging to the Englishman River. It provides new and creative images illustrating the interaction between the Englishman River and the aquifers along its banks. • Part 3 describes the role played by groundwater flowing in the bedrock aquifers and the fact it is still predominantly unknown. It also provides a water balance for the Englishman River during periods of low flow, and it reveals that aquifers are the main source of water in the Englishman River in the summer and fall. • Part 4 describes the link between the Englishman River, the aquifers in its watershed, and the land where aquifer recharge takes place. It presents a new and innovative way of illustrating with butterfly images the connection between the land, the aquifers, and the river. • Part 5 provides a brief summary of what was discovered during the study and the lessons learned. It gives recommendations on what could and should be done to continue the discovery of the interaction between the Englishman River and the aquifers in its watershed and what could be done to protect the Englishman River Watershed. • Acknowledgments: • This study was made possible by the grants provided by RBC Blue Water Project, The Real Estate Foundation of BC, GW Solutions Inc, Living Rivers, the Regional District of Nanaimo, TD Friends of the Environment, and Pacific Salmon Foundation, and by the volunteers who participated in the project. • For more info please link to: www.mvihes.bc.ca or http://www.gwsolutions.ca
