approximately one kilometre from the boundary. However, the majority of the expansion 



of the cone of depression has been to the northwest in the area of Fife Lake. Typically 

 water levels have dropped 0.1 m to 0.3 m. Given the dry conditions in the area and the 

 small magnitude of drawdowns, it is difficult to isolate man induced changes from natural 

 changes. 



The groundwater investigation and modelling undertaken by SaskPower have been 

 completed. As the results of the report are being reviewed by Sask Water (formerly 

 Saskatchewan Water Corporation), it would be premature to discuss the findings of the 

 report. 



4.3.2 Montana 



Hydrographs reflecting water level measurements for selected wells in the Hart coal seam 

 are presented in Figure 4.2. These wells continue to show trends of decline in water 

 levels although these trends have levelled-off in 1991. 



Water levels for wells 2, 8, 9, 11, and 21 continue to show no trends in water level 

 change.
