Description
Groundwater quality in the Battersea Drainage Basin, an irrigated area of southern Alberta with a high density of intensive livestock operations, was monitored from 1995 to 2001. The goal was to characterize groundwater flow and quality, and to determine whether groundwater quality changed between this period. The information gathered in this report will be used to identify and promote the most appropriate management practices to minimize water contamination, and to serve as a baseline to monitor the impact of implementation of beneficial management practices in the basin.
