Abstract
In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, eskers having an exposed crest and edges confined by the Barlow-Ojibway Lake clay provide high quality groundwater resources. However, these aquifers are vulnerable to degradation by surface activities. It is thus necessary to develop a characterization approach providing the information needed by decision makers for sustainable groundwater management. This paper describes the initial hydrochemical characterization of the Saint-Mathieu/Berry esker near Amos, Québec. It is shown that the chemical composition of precipitations and groundwater can be used as tracers to efficiently understand the groundwater flow dynamics associated with esker aquifer systems.
