Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Groundwater is effluent to rivers on Prince Edward Island. An approximate annual hydrologic balance can be made for various river basins, but the range in annual precipitation shows that this balance may vary widely. The movement of groundwater is permitted both by intergranular permeability and interjoint flow in the bedrock. Excellent supplies of groundwater are available and towns and industries obtain their water supply from well fields. Salt-water contamination occurs in a few wells close to the seashore, and may be the main water supply problem if larger well fields are constructed for industrial and municipal growth." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of this report reviews hydrogeology, climate, and topography of Prince Edward Island as they relate to the state of the province's groundwater resource. Part 2 describes groundwater quality concerns, including contamination of groundwater from such practices as agriculture, sewage & waste disposal, road salting, sea water intrusion, and petroleum storage. The final parts discuss legislative, institutional, and other instruments used in the province for groundwater quality management.

Download or read book An Investigation of Groundwater and Surface Water Interactions Near a Small Stream in Prince Edward Island written by Wesley N. Tibbet and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) currently has a moratorium on the installation of high-capacity irrigation water supply wells, mainly due to concerns over potential interactions with nearby streams. The focus of this research was to conduct an investigation near a small stream in Maple Plains, PEI, and to assess the potential for the site to be used for stream depletion related research. The objectives were to determine whether the stream was gaining or losing, to establish the natural hydraulic gradients, and to characterize the overburden materials. Stream discharge measurements made in September 2016 indicated that the stream was neither gaining nor losing water. Water elevation data from five drive-point piezometers, two groundwater monitoring wells, an unused residential well, and the stream, revealed that there was an unsaturated zone between the stream and aquifer. The identification of this unsaturated zone only proves that the stream was not directly connected to the underlying aquifer, and does not prove disconnection. The groundwater elevation data also provide evidence that groundwater naturally flows in the same direction as the stream. Soil samples collected during monitoring well installation showed that there is roughly 3 m of a sand phase till overlying the fractured sandstone aquifer. The hydraulic conductivity of the till appears to decrease with depth. This is also supported by the presence of a perched groundwater system that develops during periods of increased infiltration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Estimates of the volume of ground-water use in Canada were prepared for 1981. Six maps show the spatial distribution and annual volumes of ground water used by municipal and industrial users. The major findings of this report are the following: (1) over 6.2 million, or 26% of Canadians, rely on ground water for their domestic supply; (2) approximately 38% of the municipalities in Canada rely entirely or partially on ground water; (3) approximately 1.46 billion cubic metres, or about 4% of total water use in Canada, is obtained from ground water (this percentage is increased to 8% if water use by the thermal component within the industrial sector is not included in the calculations); (4) approximately 87% of total water use for livestock is obtained from ground water; and (5) ground water is important for fish enhancement programs"--Abstract, p. vii.
