This study classified the groundwater level responses measured in B.C. Provincial Observation Network wells according to the dominant response mechanism (recharge-driven or streamflow-driven). Accompanying this report is a spreadsheet listing all available provincial observation wells, some of their characteristics, along with how the well has been classified.

This study aimed to classify the groundwater level responses measured in B.C. Provincial Observation Network wells according to the dominant response mechanism (recharge-driven or streamflow-driven. The goal was to identify which signal leads, the groundwater signal or the streamflow signal. Accompanying this report is a spreadsheet listing all available provincial observation wells, some of their characteristics (e.g., what geological unit they are located in, how far away the well is from the nearest and second stream, where the closest hydrometric station and climate station are located) along with how the well has been classified according to dominant response mechanism. Understanding the response mechanism can be critical for interpreting the groundwater level response in relation to other environmental factors and can give more meaningful insight into varied processes within the groundwater system.
