5200 |a"There is an emerging consensus that accurate management of water resources requires knowledge of the relation between ground and surface water and of the performance of groundwater as an independent water supply. This is particularly appropriate when estimating the impacts of climate change where groundwater forms an important link between climatic variables such as precipitation, hydrologic impacts such as reduced base flow, and societal concerns such as degraded water supplies. The Grand River watershed has been selected by the Great Lakes 2000 program as a prototype for estimating the impacts of climate change and variability on the sustainability of ground and surface water resources. From a hydro-physiographic perspective, the watershed is characterized by complex physiography, geology, and surface and subsurface hydrology and therefore is a useful venue for the development of analytical rnethods. From a socio-economic perspective, the watershed is subject to expanding urban, industrial, and agricultural development and a pronounced reliance on groundwater relative to similar settings in eastern Canada. Water use models developed for the watershed are based on simplified representations of the groundwater resource and hydrologic models are lacking in description of regional scale groundwater conditions, The objective of this study is to resolve these issues through the development of an integrated ground and surface water model for the watershed"
