Aquifer Boundaries: The southern boundary follows the Fraser River. The northern and eastern boundaries generally follow surficial geology mapping for the Fort Langley Formation and the Sumas Drift deposits. This boundary follows the bedrock mound forming Grant Hill. Kanata River bounds the aquifer to the west.

Aquifer Sub-type: 4b
Type – Glacio-fluvial sand and gravel aquifers at surface, as well as, sand and gravel aquifers identified occurring underneath till or glacio-lacustrine deposits.
Subtype - Confined sand and gravel aquifers underneath till, in between till layers, or underlying glaciolacustrine deposits.

Aquifer Priority Rating for Observation Wells: 45.3

Geologic Formation (overlying materials): The Sumas Drift deposits in the area consist of recessional channel and floodplain deposits laid down by proglacial streams while the Fort Langley Formation deposits are characterized as channel fill, floodplain, and ice-contact gravel and sand intimately intermixed with glacio-marine stony silt to loamy clay (Armstrong, 1977). Thickness of the confining layer ranges from 7 to 54 ft (2.1 to 16.5 m), with an average of 22 ft (6.7 m). The confining material is described in the well logs as clay or till.

Whonnock Geologic Formation (aquifer): The aquifer layers are described as gravelly with some boulders and clay lenses. The aquifer is mapped over glacial deposits and seasonal floodwater deposits found along the Fraser River.

Partially Confined: The wells tapping into the deep sand and gravel layers are usually well confined. A lot of dug wells mapped in this aquifer tap however from seepages occurring within the surficial till layer. These wells have shallow water level and do not have natural protection from surface contamination.

Vulnerability: Moderate. Although the confining layer appears to be consistent and reasonably thick, many dug wells are completed at shallow depths within this confining layer. This increases the vulnerability for these types of wells.

Whonnock Water Well Productivity: Moderate. Reported yields range from 0 to 25 USgpm (1.6 L/s), with an average of 11 USgpm (0.7 L/s) and a geometric mean of 7 USgpm (0.4 L/s). Most of the dug wells do not have yield reported but are likely to be small producers.

Depth to Water: The average depth to water is 14 ft (4.3 m), the median and geometric mean are respectively 6 ft (1.8 m) and 7 ft (2.1 m), with a minimum and maximum of 1 ft (0.3 m) and 140 ft (42.7 m). Artesian conditions were noted at 1 well.

Direction of Groundwater Flow: Groundwater likely flows towards the Fraser River.

Recharge: Recharge likely occurs from direct infiltration of precipitation, lateral groundwater movement from the upland areas, and/or from surface water features. The aquifer is likely hydraulically connected to the Fraser River.

Whonnock Domestic Well Density: Moderate, with 13.8 wells / km2.

Type of Water Use: Of 119 wells with a reported water use, 117 are for domestic purposes. One well is reported as commercial / industrial and one water supply system is noted.

Reliance on Source: Conjunctive. There are 4 water licenses along local creeks and springs that are used to meet local water demands. The bedrock aquifer 0019 underlying the subject aquifer is also a source of drinking water.

Conflicts between Users: Unknown

Quality Concerns: Water Testing Advised

Comments: The well depths range from 1 ft (0.3 m) to 297 ft (90.5 m). The median depth is 18 ft (5.5 m), the average 36 ft (11.0 m) and the geometric mean 21 ft (6.4 m).
