Metadata: Hydrogeological Units of the Paskapoo Formation

Metadata NAP : more info

Identification

Abstract

Paskapoo aquifer system is located in southern Alberta. It extends from Pincher Creek to a little northern than Whitecourt. The system follows the east side of the Rockies Mountains. The Formation consists of three geological units, creating discontinuous aquifers of isolated fluvial channels and other types of sand bodies with limited spatial continuity. The complex and heterogeneous sedimentary geology of the Paskapoo Formation creates highly variable physical properties. The dataset mostly describes the groundwater flow dynamics in the different aquifers and in the regional aquifer system, and the connection between the aquifers. It also provides data on confinement, surficial sediment thickness, wells depth, groundwater depth, bedrock hydraulic conductivity, yields, aquifer potential, groundwater usage, threats and groundwater quality. The dataset is a summary of data and hydrogeological information for all aquifers, aquifer systems and hydrogeological contexts of the Paskapoo project.
