Abstract The Guelph area, northwest of the west end of Lake Ontario, is underlain by Silurian dolomites of the Guelph and Amabel formations. Sandy Catfish Creek Till was deposited by ice flowing southward during Tazewell time. The origin of overlying clay till of Cary age is unknown. The youngest till, on top of the three-till sequence, is the Wentworth Till (Port Huron age), deposited by westward-moving ice of the Ontario lobe which formed the Guelph drumlin field and the Paris and Gait moraines. The edge of the Wentworth Till sheet crosses the northwest corner of the area. Clayey sand till, originating from the southeastward- moving Georgian Bay ice lobe, is the surface till in the northwest corner of the area. Large sand and gravel deposits occur in outwash plains, kames, eskers, in extensive spillway terraces along the Grand River and in a network of spillway channels in the Guelph drumlin field. PLEISTOCENE GEOLOGY OF THE GUELPH AREA BY P. F. Karrow 1 INTRODUCTION Location and Access The Guelph area is situated in the southeastern part of the interlake peninsula of southern Ontario. It is covered by sheet 40 P/9 (Guelph) of the National Topographic Series and has an area of about 400 square miles. The area extends from latitude 43° 30' N. to 43° 45' N. and from longitude 80° 00' W. to 80° 30' W. The area includes parts of the counties of Waterloo, Wellington, and Halton. Excellent access is available through a grid of township roads at about one-mile intervals. Several paved county roads cross parts of the area. Provincial highways, Nos. 6, 7, 24, 25, and 86 serve the area. High­ way 401 passes within two miles of the south edge of the area. Several lines of the Canadian National Railways and Canadian Pacific Railway serve the area. Population The area extends into the densely settled industrial core of the 2 Province. The largest urban centre is Guelph, with a population of 40,918; it is centrally located near the southern boundary of the area. Other, smaller, centres in the area include Acton (4,354), Fergus (4,009), and Elora (1,489), situated in the eastern and northwestern parts of the area respectively. The suburban fringes of Kitchener and Waterloo, having a combined popu­ lation of over 100,000, lie just beyond the southwestern corner of the area. Climate Climatic data for Guelph, obtained from the Meteorological Branch of the Canada Department of Transport are as follows: Department of Earth Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. Manuscript received by the Chief Geologist, Geological Branch, Ontario Department of Mines, Jan 28 1966 2Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs 1963. - 2 - Annual Averages Precipitation (inches) Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) Rain Snow Total Maximum Minimum Mean 27.16 56.40 32.80 53.3 35.8 44.6 Topography Elevations in the area range from a maximum of 1525 feet above sea level, in the extreme northwest corner of the area, to a minimum of 1000 feet along the valleys of the Grand and Speed rivers, in the southwest part of the area; this yields a total relief of a little more than 500 feet.

The vulnerability of public supply wells to water quality degradation may temporarily increase during these types of events. The Walkerton, ON, Canada, tragedy (2000) highlighted the threat to human health associated with the rapid transport of microbial pathogens to public supply wells during dynamic recharge events. Field research at the Thornton (Woodstock, ON, Canada) and Mannheim West (Kitchener, ON, Canada) well fields, situated in glacial overburden aquifers, identified a potential increase in vulnerability due to event-based recharge phenomena. Ephemeral surface water flow and local ponding containing microbial pathogen indicator species Citation: Wiebe, A.J.; Rudolph, D.L.; were observed and monitored within the capture zones of public supply wells following heavy rain Pasha, E.; Brook, J.M.; Christie, M.; and/or snowmelt.

  • Basin Analysis and the Development of 3-D Geological Models for Regional Hydrogeological Applications
    Introduction - Basin Analysis and the Development of 3-D Geological Models for Regional Hydrogeological Applications Russell, H.1, R.C. Berg2, and L.H. Thorleifson3 1Geological Survey of Canada; 2Illinois State Geological Survey; 3Minnesota Geological Survey This workshop is the third in an ongoing series discussing three-dimensional (3-D) geological model construction for groundwater applications. A central theme of the workshops has been development of techniques for reconciling disparate archival and high quality data sets to produce the most robust 3-D stratigraphic and hydrostratigraphic models possible. The first workshop focused on the use of archival water well records for the development of 3-D models (Berg and Thorleifson, 2001). The second workshop considered the widespread use of water well data to address questions of broader basin methodologies, techniques for collecting high quality data, and the need for geostatistical techniques in data interpolation (Thorleifson and Berg, 2002). The value and pertinence of these workshops and the resultant interagency collaboration toward improved methodologies parallels recommendations by the National Research Council (NRC) (2000) for Investigating Groundwater Systems on Regional and National Scales. This NRC review highlights two important issues connecting geology and hydrogeology: $ Collaboration between scientists that permits geological information to be used in scaling up the results of a local groundwater study in areas where hydrogeological data are sparse or nonexistent. $ Characterization of heterogeneous aquifers at large and small scales through understanding links between geology and hydrogeology In the United States, the Regional Aquifer Simulation Assessment (RASA) studies are one example of a multi-agency approach to regional groundwater investigations (Sun and Johnson, 1994).

  • Towards a Management Plan for the Waterloo Moraine: a Comprehensive Assessment of Its Current State Within the Region of Waterloo
    Towards a Management Plan for the Waterloo Moraine: A Comprehensive Assessment of its Current State within the Region of Waterloo by Lindsay Poulin A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Lindsay Poulin 2009 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Lindsay Poulin ii ABSTRACT The Region of Waterloo (ROW) and Oxford County contain a significant landscape unit called the Waterloo Moraine that provides multiple ecological and water resource functions to surrounding communities. These functions include; providing a clean and abundant source of water, natural landscapes for plant and animal habitats, natural areas for recreational enjoyment, prime agricultural lands on which to grow food and aggregate resources in close proximity to large markets. This landscape unit is similar to the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The purpose of this research is to conduct an examination of the current state of management for the Waterloo Moraine within the ROW and Oxford County. Attributes of the Waterloo Moraine examined include; water resources, agricultural resources, mineral aggregate resources, Environmentally Sensitive Landscapes (ESLs), natural core areas, natural linkage areas and settlement areas. While the hydrologic functions have been most studied within this landscape unit, the Moraine has predominantly been studied from a focused perspective rather than a comprehensive one.

    Grand River Conservation Authority Report number: GM-06-19-61 Date: June 28, 2019 To: Members of Grand River Conservation Authority Subject: Water Management Plan Reporting – Five years of implementation Recommendation: THAT Report Number GM-06-19-61 – Water Management Plan Reporting – Five years of implementation be received as information. Summary: Through a long-standing commitment to improve watershed water management, the Grand River Conservation Authority continues to support and coordinate a collaborative Water Management Plan with municipalities, government agencies, and First Nations. The GRCA role is to co-ordinate and facilitate this plan by collaborating with partners, hosting and organizing meetings and introducing new staff in partner agencies to the plan. The goals of the Plan are to 1. Reduce flood damage potential; 2. Ensure water supply for communities, economies and ecosystems; 3. Improve water quality to improve river health and reduce the river’s impact on Lake Erie; and 4. Increase resiliency to deal with a changing climate across the watershed. This Plan provides the framework from which partner agencies can align work plans to help realize greater outcomes for effective watershed water management. A fundamental outcome of the plan is to look for best value solutions to water management problems and issues in the watershed and to act as neutral party to assist with finding solutions. Report: Managing water resources in Ontario is a shared responsibility. The Water Management Plan provides the framework for collective and collaborative action on water management that transcends municipal boundaries. The goals of the Plan are to 1. Reduce flood damage potential; 2.
