  • Galiano Groundwater Study
    GALIANO GROUNDWATER STUDY Submitted To: C/O Mr. Robert Kojima Suite 200 – 1627 Fort Street Victoria, BC V8R 1H8 Submitted By: Waterline Resources Inc. Nanaimo, BC March 31, 2011 WL11-1755 GALIANO GROUNDWATER STUDY WL11-1755 Galiano Island, British Columbia March 31, 2011 Submitted to: Islands Trust Page i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Galiano Island and other Gulf Islands pose unique challenges in terms of sustainable development of fresh water resources in conjunction with future land use planning initiatives. Galiano has a relatively small landmass and land development will undoubtedly impact the groundwater resource in some way through reduced volumes of infiltrated rainwater and subsequent recharge to underlying aquifers and increased water supply demands. In addition, surface activities have the potential to affect the quality of recharging water, and therefore must be approached in a careful and thoughtful manner. These issues are further complicated by the possibility of salt water intrusion common to coastal environments. Over the last few decades, a considerable amount of hydrogeological work has been conducted on Galiano Island. Although individual hydrogeological studies reference previous studies, historical data is not easily integrated so that groundwater use and aquifer response can be easily assessed over time. Although theoretical calculations can be made to predict potential impacts, assumptions and uncertainties can lead to incorrect or ambiguous predictions. Furthermore, no requirement for follow up groundwater monitoring exists, and no verification of predictive estimates occurs. Municipal planning could be greatly improved if there were an opportunity to assess the current health of groundwater supply aquifers and to accurately predict the long-term cumulative effects of existing groundwater extraction activities, or activities related to potential future land development.
