Delta Marsh groundwater and soil salinity study / R. Hood and L.D. Keil.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : 1980. Underwood McLellan Ltd.,Description: 1 v. (various pagings) : ill. , maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Our analysis of the groundwater condition in the area indicates that marsh regulation should have only minor impacts on groundwater users.The most 2 to 3 feet close to the marsh. The data available for the aquifers suggests this should not create any difficulties. The full supply condition may nominally expand the existing saline soil areas by raising the water table around the marsh fringe. The limited duration of the full supply condition and the impermeability of the adjacent soils will combine to limit this effect. No substantial groundwater control structures should be required for the drawdown ditch.
