The objective of this study is to conceptualize the hydrogeological setting of the study area in terms of hydraulic head distribution, identify the local to intermediate groundwater flow regimes, and characterize the formation water chemistry. The major physiographic feature of this area is the deeply incised Athabasca River, with numerous tributaries flowing north and northeast across the project focus area. Additionally, regional topographic highs are also identified in the project focus area with the Stoney Mountain Uplands in the southeast and portions of the Birch Mountains in the west and northwest.
