Groundwater Flow, 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.

Groundwater flow is the movement of water in an aquifer or hydrogeological unit. The dataset shows groundwater flow rate and direction in the hydrogeological unit. Groundwater flow is establish from piezometric surface map. The method used to create the dataset is described in the metadata associated with the dataset. The dataset represents a description of the flow, including rate in m/d, direction, date and source. Typically, the data provided will not be in the form of a shapefile with linked properties but in the form of an image that sketches the groundwater flow. The image could also represent a cross section of the hydrogeologic units showing the regional trends of the groundwater flow.
