Hydrogeological Data Collection at Canadian Arctic Mines in Permafrost
Groundwater quantity and quality data collection issues at existing and proposed mines in the Precambrian Shield rocks of the Canadian Arctic (Nunavut and Northwest Territories) are discussed based on literature review and recent hydrogeological testing at proposed mine sites.
