Abstract
Alpine regions of the Canadian Rocky Mountains are important sources of freshwater for the semiarid Canadian Prairies. Yet, only recently have studies demonstrated that groundwater plays an important role in storage and subsequent release of snowmelt and rain. With limited case studies available in this region, a general understanding of groundwater flow processes in the alpine zone remains elusive.
