Real Estate Foundation Assists with Phase II of Groundwater Study
The Real Estate Foundation of BC has granted the MVIHES $10,000 to assist with Phase 2 of the Groundwater Mapping and Education Project. This second phase will continue from Phase 1 by defining the location and geometry of the sand and gravel aquifers in the lower section of the Englishman River down to the estuary. The project will fill an important knowledge gap about groundwater. It will also encourage the public to learn more about their groundwater in order to protect the watershed from activities that could jeopardize its rich ecosystem. The Regional District of Nanaimo has generously contributed $4,000 to the project as well.
