Chapter 13 — Case Histories
by
J. C. Foweraker, E. Livingston, W. L. Brown, R. A. Dakin and A. T. Holmes
In this chapter are found examples on the applications of ground water engineering and hydrogeology to exploration development, use and management of ground water in British Columbia for agriculture, industry and community water supply. Also an example on dealing with the impact on ground water resources of an accidental spill which resulted in the contamination of the subsurface.
The first five case histories presented in this chapter are from a previous publication by Foweraker, Livingston and Brown (1985). Those authors wish to thank A. P. Kohut, M. Zubel, R. B. Erdman and A. Badry, for reviewing drafts of the original manuscripts of these case histories and providing helpful comments and suggestions, also R. A. H. Sparrow an G. O. Nielsen for information on fish hatcheries.
Case histories Nos. 6 and 7 entitled "Exploration and development of a ground water source for the town of Smithers" and "Poor management of an aquifer supplying irrigation water to two ranches in the Semlin Valley, east of the Village of Cache Creek" are by E. Livingston.
Case history No. 8 is from a previous publication by Dakin and Holmes (1987) entitled "Monitoring, migration and control of an ethylene dichloride contaminant plume in a gravel aquifer."
