Protecting Water for Future Generations: Growing the Greenbelt in the Outer Ring
The Melancthon / Mulmur area west of the Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere lands includes specialty crop agricultural food lands, natural dolostone recharge and groundwater reservoir areas above about 455 m asl. West of the groundwater divide between Lake Erie and Georgian Bay, the Guelph Amabel Aquifer flows in the subsurface in the Grand River watershed to the southwest towards Lake Erie contributing drinking water to urban centres, rural communities and individual farms and residences. The groundwater divide is dynamic and shifts under aquifer stresses.
