Airborne Electromagnetic Survey

Updated December 19, 2024

The final report has been issued by SkyTEM Canada.  The Bureau of Reclamation will review boring logs from several hundred wells in the project area to supplement the AEM Study results.  This process will take several months; completion of this final stage is expected in March, 2025.
