A HYDROGEOLOGIC  INVENTORY AND RECONNAISSANCE 
OF KEATS ISLAND 
INTRODUCTION 
Upon receipt 
of a request from the Sunshine Coast Regional District the 
Groundwater Section 
of the Water Management Division undertook a groundwater 
inventory and reconnaissance of Keats Island. 
The Sunshine Coast Regional District is investigating the feasibility of 
improving  water supply on the Island. Part 
of their  investigation involves 
groundwater and wells. However, no water well data was available in the 
Groundwater Section Data Base for this Island. 
In early October,1992, the author spent 
two days on Keats Island. During this 
time 
a well inventory was carried out, five wells were sampled for chemical 
analysis, and 
a beginning made on a hydrogeological investigation of the Island. 
On completion, the Groundwater Section's Data Base was updated with the 
new water well record and chemistry information obtained, and four new 
1 to 5,000 
Water Well Location Maps, conforming to  the British Columbia Geographical 
System (BCGS), were prepared for the Island.

This preliminary hydrogeologic report was prepared to present  some of the 
data and to give a few comments on the findings.
