Groundwater Geoscience Program

Our water resources research focuses on predicting aquifer characteristics, groundwater availability, water chemistry, and the flow and discharge of groundwater systems in our province. This work supports the protection and stewardship of our environment and enables responsible resource development. We inform and support groundwater-related planning decisions for regulations, policy, and environmental protection. Our groundwater information and knowledge is available to the public in formats including data, maps, models, interactive applications, and technical reports.
