Hydraulic Properties, Groundwater Geoscience Program

Hydraulic Properties, Groundwater Geoscience Program is an open dataset from Natural Resources Canada with 6 files (HTML, PDF, WMS); catalogue record updated 2020-05-05. On CanQuery you can follow the original downloads. Files are available in English and French.

Hydraulic properties characterize a hydrogeological unit. The hydraulic properties considered for this dataset are the transmissivity, the hydraulic conductivity, the storage coefficient, the specific storage coefficient and the porosity. Hydraulic properties are estimated by performing aquifer tests (pumping tests, slug tests). The hydraulic tests and their duration are managed in this dataset. The methods used to create the dataset are described in the metadata associated with the dataset. The dataset exhibits a general description of hydraulic properties of the hydrogeological unit, including hydraulic test, total test duration, method and date. It includes numbers and/or ranges describing the aquifer tests results. Note that an alternate raster representation could be used in complement to the discrete point-based representation.
