GW Solutions has completed a hydrogeological assessment in the area of the Long Beach Airport, near Tofino, BC. The review of investigations dating back to 1960’s combined to recent drilling has provided a new understanding of the complex hydrogeological conditions in this region. Images have been created to represent the soil and bedrock horizons across this narrow peninsula.

GW Solutions has provided a detailed definition of the subsurface aquifers and groundwater regime to a multi-disciplinary team in support of a long-term watershed and land use planning project. GW Solutions developed a 3D conceptual model (using leapfrog hydro) of watersheds and aquifers and used this to characterize the groundwater flow regime, recharge and discharge and seasonal flooding. As a follow-up to this project GW Solutions collaborated further with Northwest Hydraulics Consulting (NHC) to derive a quantitative assessment of the interaction between the Chemainus aquifer and Whitehouse and Bonsall Creeks by calculating a groundwater-surface water flux using available data together
