The Sturgeon River is a small, precipitation and groundwater fed prairie river. This document provides an overview of the hydrogeological conditions in the Sturgeon River Basin based on existing information. It forms a generalized framework for the role of groundwater in sustaining the Sturgeon River and (select) lakes in the basin.
Key data gaps in the understanding of the potential interactions of groundwater with the Sturgeon River and lakes are identified and recommendations are suggested for addressing the data gaps.
