The predominant aquifer on file is Horseshoe Canyon Formation sandstone and Scollard bedrock. Stettler is transitional country between parkland and dry prairie. Horseshoe Canyon sandstone supplies most wells at moderate depth, and Buffalo Lake shoreline development has put real pressure on shallow aquifers in places.
