Groundwater Mapping Program
Program Manager: Alfonso Rivera
Groundwater is important to health, economy and ecosystems in Canada. It provides drinking water to about one third of all Canadians and up to 80% of the rural population. It has been routinely surveyed since early last century, yet groundwater has not been mapped in a systematic way across the country. The NRCan Groundwater Mapping program, a current federal groundwater initiative, aims to establish a conceptual framework of national, regional and watershed-scale groundwater flow systems.
