Abstract
AbstractIn an investigation of a high water‐table problem in the west part of Coleman, Alberta, ground‐water temperatures were found to vary by as much as 12 degrees F at different points within a one‐quarter square mile area. Analysis of their distribution, together with ground‐water chemistry, and configuration of the water table itself led to discovery of three distinct sources contributing ground water to the townsite. They are: Cordilleran glacial deposits north of the town, an abandoned coal mine underlying the town, and the Crowsnest River. The permeability distribution showed that a major direction of ground‐water movement is along a former course of the Crowsnest River, although the river was channelled to a different location more than fifty years ago.
