Assessment of groundwater contribution to surface water quantity, quality and temperature in rivers of northern Quebec
Surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) interaction has an important role on quantity and quality of water resources as well as health of aquatic systems. Since the temperature of groundwater and rivers are different, the movement of water means transport of heat. Due to presence of permafrost and freeze-...

| Summary: | Surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) interaction has an important role on quantity and quality of water resources as well as health of aquatic systems. Since the temperature of groundwater and rivers are different, the movement of water means transport of heat. Due to presence of permafrost and freeze-thaw cycle of active layer in northern Quebec, the physics controlling SW-GW interaction varies from one pint to another as well as from one season to another. SW-GW interaction in these regions is highly controlled by temperature dependent parameters. Climate change can have noticeable effect on future of SW-GW interaction and aquatic systems in these regions. |
