TextPublication details: 1973. Winnipeg, MB : University of Manitoba,Description: xv, 202 leaves : ill. ; 29 cmSubject(s): Online resources: Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Manitoba, 1973. Summary: The influence of hydrogeologic factors on genetic soil distributions near Deloraine in southwestern Manitoba was studied during a two year period. Emphasis was placed on determining the detailed hydrogeologic characteristics along a narrow 25 mile long strip of terrain between Turtle Mountain and the Souris Plain. To characterize the hydrogeology,15 nests of piezometers were installed in the Quaternary and bedrock deposits. Hydraulic head data and samples of the groundwater were obtained from the piezometers. The hydraulic head data, chemistry of the groundwater and knowledge of the stratigraphy were used to interpret the patterns of groundwater flow. Seven hydrogeologic areas were established. The hydrogeological characteristics of each area were described and related to the pedological characteristics of the soils. In addition, a detailed sampling of the soil and sub-soil was conducted to evaluate the degree and source of salinity in the soil.
