Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program

Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program 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. 2020-05-05 Natural Resources Canada nrcan.gsc-geosciencedata-donneesgeoscience-cgc.rncan@canada.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyAquifer confinementHydrogeologyGroundwater Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program - EnglishWMS https://gin.gw-info.net/service/gin/wms/mediator/gin_en?request=GetCapabilities&version=1.3.0&service=WMS&LAYERS=gw_confinement&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/html Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program - FrenchWMS https://gin.gw-info.net/service/gin/wms/mediator/gin_fr?request=GetCapabilities&version=1.3.0&service=WMS&LAYERS=gw_confinement&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/html Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program - EnglishHTML https://gin.gw-info.net/service/api_ngwds:gin2/en/data/standard.download.html?THEME=9&BBOX=-180,30.84375,5.019531,90 Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program - FrenchHTML https://gin.gw-info.net/service/api_ngwds:gin2/fr/data/standard.download.html?THEME=9&BBOX=-180,30.84375,5.019531,90 Data Product Specifications, Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program - EnglishPDF https://gin.gw-info.net/service/ngwds/downloadmanager/file/dps/aq_conf_en.pdf Data Product Specifications, Aquifer Confinement Conditions, Groundwater Geoscience Program - FrenchPDF https://gin.gw-info.net/service/ngwds/downloadmanager/file/dps/aq_conf_fr.pdf
