dc.description.abstractA geochemical and stable isotopic approach was used to aid in assessment of surface water-groundwater interactions within the Englishman River Watershed, British Columbia. Groundwater contribution to surface water is highest in late summer, early fall, and winter months. Groundwater discharge to surface water constitutes the majority of surface water discharge in the Englishman River during this period. In fall, precipitation rates increase, which in conjunction with low discharge rates in late summer, cause a loss of the groundwater signature in surface water. In spring, precipitation and meltwater sourced from the snowpack on Mt. Arrowsmith are the primary contributors to surface water. Shallow aquifers in surficial sediments influence surface waters to a higher degree than deeper bedrock aquifers. However, groundwater from deeper, more saline aquifers contributes to surface water and is measurable during late summer; although the influence is likely minor.en_US
