Abstract
This dataset contains measurements from ~800,000 sites in Western Canada. Deep groundwater data available at these sites include permeability, porosity, and total dissolved solids, although not all measurements are available at all locations. Data was compiled from the IHS AccuMap commercial oil and gas database, Province of Saskatchewan’s IRIS database and various published sources. The additional sampling planned for 2020 field work has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Purpose
The Subsurface Hydrogeological Connectivity and Groundwater Protection project aims to understand connections between deep and shallow groundwater systems to allow for improved protection of groundwater resources. These data have also been used in the Prairie Water project, which seeks to understand groundwater resources as part of the overall availability of water in the Canadian Prairies.
