Alluvial sediments hydrogeological unit designates fluvial terrace sediments composed of sand, gravel and organic debris. The unit thickness varies between 0.5 and 15 m and outcrops and overlies significant glaciolacustrine sediments layer. The aquifer is under unconfined conditions, suggesting high to moderate vulnerability to surface contamination. It designates a low recharge rates area. Groundwater flows toward Okanagan Lake. |
