Preliminary monthly groundwater budgets were developed for seven aquifers in the Hopington -Salmon River Area of British Columbia in order to support groundwater allocation and licensing under the Water Sustainability Act. The study consisted of an evaluation of groundwater inflows and outflows in aquifers in proximity to the Salmon River, an environmentally sensitive watercourse currently subject to a Water Allocation Restriction. Provincial aquifer mapping in the study area was updated to reflect the improved understanding developed as part of extensive subsurface investigations conducted by Golder Associates Limited (2005; 2014). The groundwater budgets for the revised aquifers were prepared based on output from a previously developed surface water model and numerical groundwater flow model prepared for the Township of Langley. Groundwater budgets were developed in Microsoft Excel and included options to evaluate groundwater fluxes for average, wet and dry years, projected water demand scenarios, climate change effects, and implementation of stormwater best management practices. Qualitative assessments of groundwater availability were conducted and identified aquifers both with a greater capacity for available groundwater and those in which groundwater allocation should be approached with caution. Uncertainties and limitations of the high level groundwater budgeting methodology was assessed and recommendations to address data gaps and uncertainties proposed.
