Variable-scale conceptual framework for shallow groundwater systems in the low-relief, water-limited Canadian Boreal Plains
Case studies illustrate a conceptual framework for shallow groundwater flow systems’ temporal and spatial variability with groundwater-surface water interactions in the Boreal Plains of Canada. The framework was developed using a twenty-year hydrometric dataset (e.g., climatological and streamflow data, hydraulic heads, vertical hydraulic head gradients, geochemical and isotopic signatures).
