An investigation of the groundwater flow systems associated with the most prominent topographic expression in the Okanagan Highland (a U-shaped valley) revealed that the hydraulic conductivity of the crystalline rock varies exponentially with depth, and that the local flow systems within the upper 125 to 150 ft of the crystalline rock conduct an estimated 10 to 17 Imperial gallons per day per foot thickness in a two-dimensional flow system. These local flow systems are quantitatively the most significant in the Okanagan Highland.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
