Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program

Aquifer Confinement Conditions, 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.

The confinement describes the types of aquifer: confined, unconfined and semi-confined. Confined aquifer is bounded from above and below by impervious formations. Unconfined aquifer has a water table which serves as its upper boundary. Semi-confined aquifer is in between. Aquifer confinement is derived from geology, stratigraphy and hydrogeological unit thickness. The dataset represents the confinement assessment of the local area over the hydrogeological unit, from a controlled vocabulary.
