Mapping Buried Valley Aquifers in SW Manitoba using a Vibrating Source/Landstreamer Seismic Reflection System

In southwest Manitoba, Canada, sand and gravel aquifers within buried valleys of Pleistocene and/or Tertiary age eroded into underlying Cretaceous bedrock have been developed for municipal, pipeline and farm water supplies. These valleys have little or no surface expression and the sedimentary architecture is poorly known; the extent of the valleys and their aquifers has been only partially delineated by boreholes.
