Abstract: Well capture zones are intended to identify potential areas of risk to aquifers where the release of contaminants could affect the water quality of community wells. The information was compiled as a discreet project under the ‘Yukon Water Strategy’ and represents a ‘snapshot in time’ of the Drinking Water Systems. Well capture zones were identified using a combination of buffers, analytical methods, and groundwater flow modelling using the Waterloo Hydrogeologic Inc. Visual MODFLOW.Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon.

Purpose: Land areas that may contribute groundwater to community wells.
