MVCA launches groundwater program
The Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority (MVCA) is
launching a new groundwater
education program this month
thanks to the generosity of Wescast
Industries Inc. The program, entitled
Groundwater...Nature’s Hidden
Treasure, introduces students to
where groundwater is found and the
need to protect it from
contamination.
A financial donation from
Wescast Industries Inc., along with
support from Human Resources
Development Canada and the Huron
Stewardship Council, is enabling
the MVCA to deliver the program to
schools free of charge.
“One highlight of the program is a
model showing the connection
between aquifers and wells,” said
Esther Buck, MVCA community
education technician. “It
demonstrates that groundwater is
not separate from streams, lakes and
wetlands, but is part of the overall
drainage system.”
Dye is introduced into the model
showing that when surface water or
groundwater is contaminated in one
location, the impacts are felt
elsewhere as water moves through
the aquifer. Students will observe
how contamination can occur from a
variety of sources: leaking

spills, poorly maintained septic
systems and ill-timed applications
of fertilizers and pesticides. The
instruction will also discuss how
surface water entering abandoned or
improperly sealed wells can result in
contaminated water for people who
pump water from the same aquifer.
Each student participating in the
program will receive an information
and activity booklet. Parents who
browse through the booklet with
their children will learn about
household practices which can help
to protect groundwater.
“We’re currently taking bookings
for January and February. We expect
the program will be available until
the end of April,” said Buck.
“Community groups and schools are
invited to call us for information on
booking the program.”
This new education initiative is
one component of the MVCA’s
ongoing strategy to assess
groundwater resources. The
Authority is currently involved in
monitoring groundwater at fourteen
sites in the watershed as well as
mapping areas at greatest risk for
surface and groundwater
contamination.
In addition, the MVCA is
delivering the Ontario Healthy
Futures program in the Maitland
watershed. One component of
Healthy Futures is the provision of
