Some High Water Table areas in North
Courtice:
It's easy to see the high water table and
groundwater recharge areas so evident on the map and in the photos. Almost ALL of North
Courtice is a Groundwater recharge and high water table area. One of the few remaining in
South/Central Ontario. (But for how long, with all the development and infilling
continuing...)
