Groundwater Studies at Marsh Lake
Yukon Energy is planning to do some groundwater studies starting this month at Marsh Lake. This is part of our on-going work to gain as much information as possible about the Southern Lakes system. To our knowledge, there has never before been a groundwater study done in the Marsh Lake area. We feel this information will be valuable both to Yukon Energy and to Marsh Lake property owners.
The studies will involve installing nine piezometers at Army Beach. The equipment will provide information about how the lake levels affect groundwater levels in the area.
If you see this equipment, please leave it undisturbed (see photo below of what the piezometers look like).
We will monitor groundwater levels throughout a full year, after which time we will share the findings with local residents.
