The Groundwater monitoring report for Celista & Magna Bay surveyed 77 sample sites of which 3 were dry. The 74 points of Water Sampling went from Fraser Bay (just below the first entrance of Anglemont) to just past the West side of the Bird Houses in Celista. This is the first set of sampling in a 3 year period which hopes to give us an idea of the changes in water quality and where they occur. Already there is proof that there is impact on ground water quality from private sewage systems. 25% of the 15 km of the foreshore investigated showed elevated concentrations of indicators of human influence.
The sampling of hyporheic groundwater was to prove if there were anthropogenic impacts as well as eutrophication indicators. I thought you would understand that! Now so you can understand the words: hyporheic; Greek: hypo (deep) and rheos (flow).denotes an area or ecosystem beneath the bed of a river or stream that is saturated with, anthropogenic; (from the Greek meaning "man-made") effects, processes, or materials are those that are derived from human activities. Eutrophication; (from the Greek word meaning: eutrophia - healthy, adequate nutrition, development) it is the addition of artificial or non-artificial substances to a fresh water system. In this case it is shown by the growth of algae east end of Magna Bay.
Impacts (from the resulting sampling) are evident in the elevated indicators from the testing of conductivity, nitrate, chloride, and phosphorus, as well as fecal (poop) coliform and E.Coli bacteria sampling. The site areas and the areas with the highest concentrations; coincided with high populations of people. Highest fecal coliform count was in the Celista area and the 2nd highest was in Magna Bay between; the Celista/Anglemont VFD Boundary and to the west, to just before the Stevens Road junction on the Squilax Anglemont Highway. Some of the contamination could have come from agricultural sources, possibly. It should be noted that the concentrations of nutrients and bacteria found in the ground water would not hurt the water people take out of the lake. The dilutions from the fresh water entering the lake and as well most people take their water far deeper out in the lake. Both of these factors would lessen contamination impacts on the lake water users.
