Hydrogeology of the Silverton Aquifer
Download: slss_johnson_report_silvertonaquifer_2016.pdf
The Silverton aquifer underlies the Village of Silverton in the West Kootenay region of south-eastern British Columbia, Canada. It is composed of gravels and sands that were deposited in an outwash delta formed where Silverton Creek empties into Slocan Lake. The Village water supply is pumped from two wells that were drilled into the aquifer to a depth of approximately 48 meters (157 feet). This report addresses the water quality, quantity and the potential threats that could contaminate the water.
