            <gco:CharacterString>A hydrogeological unit is defined as any soil or rock unit or zone that by virtue of its hydraulic properties has a distinct influence on the storage or movement of groundwater. It is considered the main dataset from the GGP point of view. Hydrogeological units are ranked into five levels (from largest to smallest): 1) hydrogeological region, 2) hydrogeological context, 3) aquifer system, 4) hydrostratigraphic unit, and 5) aquifer. Here are formal definitions for these different types of hydrogeologic units. - Hydrogeological region Hydrogeological regions are areas in which the properties of sub-surface water, or groundwater, are broadly similar in geology, climate and topography. There are 9 such regions identified in Canada (ref?). - Hydrogeological context Hydrogeological contexts are units of reporting, conceptually narrower than regions, and are additionally delineated by physiographic and hydrogeological aspects. - Aquifer system ""A heterogeneous body of intercalated permeable and poorly permeable material that functions regionally as a water-yielding hydraulic unit; it comprises two or more permeable beds [aquifers] separated at least locally by aquitards [confining units] that impede groundwater movement but do not greatly affect the regional hydraulic continuity of the system"" (Poland et al., 1972). - Hydrostratigraphic unit (HSU) ""Body of sediment and/or rock characterized by ground water flow that can be demonstrated to be distinct under both unstressed (natural) and stressed (pumping) conditions, and is distinguishable from flow in other HSUs"" (Noyes et al.) - Aquifer ""A formation, group of formations, or part of a formation that contains sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs"" (Lohman et al, 1972, p. 21). The rank attribute is used to specify the scope of the described unit. The general principle behind this specification is to allow the same data structure to apply to various types of hydrogeological units, from the local aquifer to the almost continental hydrogeological region. The dataset includes properties such as identification, physiography, geology, aquifer description and properties, water balance, groundwater use and risk. It features numerical values or a general description when no values are available. The description can also be used to add context to the numerical values. For each property, metadata identifying the source of the original data, links to similar data in GIN, and description of the processes, algorithms or methodology used to obtain these datasets will be available to complement the data. This dataset is designed to capture and represent a set of synthesized information pertaining to hydrogeological units through maps and succinct table reports. Some attributes (or properties) of the dataset are irrelevant depending of the rank of the unit. In general, this dataset is organised to include multiple properties associated with aquifers and larger hydrogeologic units. These properties are grouped into categories, which include identification, physiography, geology, aquifer description, water balance, groundwater use and risk. The numerical values associated with each of the properties can be used to create thematic maps; hence, the importance of using standardized units of measurement and definitions for these properties. When numerical values are not available, a general description may be supplied instead. The description can also be used to add context to the numerical values. Because this dataset is the cornerstone of the national view on groundwater, supplemental contextual information (metadata) must be part of the data. Thus, for each property, metadata identifying the source of the original data, links to similar data in GIN, and a description of the processes, algorithms or methodology used to obtain these datasets will be available to complement the data.</gco:CharacterString>

                  <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString xmlns="" locale="#fra">Une unité hydrogéologique désigne une unité sédimentaire ou rocheuse qui, en vertu de ses propriétés hydrauliques, a une influence distincte sur l'emmagasinement ou le mouvement des eaux souterraines. Elle est considérée comme le jeu de données principal du point de vue du programme de géosciences sur les eaux souterraines Les unités hydrogéologiques sont classées en cinq niveaux (du plus grand au plus petit) 1) : région hydrogéologique, 2) contexte hydrogéologique, 3) système aquifère, 4) unité hydrostratigraphique, et 5) aquifère. Voici les définitions formelles de ces différents types d'unités hydrogéologiques. - Région hydrogéologique Les régions hydrogéologiques sont les domaines dans lesquels les propriétés de l'eau sous la surface, ou les eaux souterraines, sont largement similaires dans la géologie, le climat et la topographie. Il y a 9 régions identifiées au Canada. - Contexte hydrogéologique Les contextes hydrogéologiques sont des unités rapportées, conceptuellement plus petites que les régions et sont également délimitées par la physiographie et les aspects hydrogéologiques. - Système aquifère Un corps hétérogène de matériau perméable et peu perméable intercalé qui fonctionne à l'échelle régionale comme une unité hydraulique qui libère de l'eau; il comprend deux lits ou plus perméables [aquifères] séparés au moins localement par des aquitards [unités de confinement] qui entravent le mouvement des eaux souterraines, mais n'affectent pas considérablement la continuité hydraulique régionale du système (Poland et al., 1972 1). - Unité hydrostratigraphique (UHS) Corps de sédiments rocheux caractérisé par un écoulement de l'eau souterraine qui peut être démontré distincte en vertu à la fois des conditions détendue (naturel) et stressée (pompage), et se distingue de flux dans d'autres UHS (Noyes et al. 2). - Aquifère Une formation, un groupe de formations, ou une partie de la formation qui contient suffisamment de matériau perméable saturée pour obtenir des quantités importantes d'eaux de puits et des sources (Lohman et al, 1972, p. 21). L'attribut « rang » est employé afin de spécifier l'étendue de l'unité décrite. Le concept général du jeu de données est d'appliquer la même structure de données à tous les types d'unités hydrogéologiques, de l'aquifère local à la région hydrogéologique. Le jeu de données présente les propriétés de l'unité hydrogéologique, incluant l'identification, la physiographie, la géologie, la description et les propriétés de l'aquifère, l'utilisation et le risque sur les eaux souterraines. Il comprend des valeurs numériques et une description générale lorsque les valeurs ne sont pas disponibles. La description peut aussi être employée pour ajouter des détails aux valeurs numériques. Pour chaque propriété, un fichier de métadonnées identifiant la source de la donnée d'origine, des liens pour des données similaires dans le RIES, ainsi qu'une description du processus, des algorithmes ou de la méthodologie employée pour obtenir les jeux de données sera disponibles pour compléter les données. Ce jeu de données est conçu pour saisir et représenter un ensemble d'informations synthétisées relatives aux unités hydrogéologiques par le biais de cartes et de tableaux succincts. Certains attributs (ou propriétés) de l'ensemble de données ne sont pas pertinentes en fonction du rang de l'unité. En général, cette base de données est organisée pour inclure plusieurs propriétés associées aux aquifères et des unités hydrogéologiques de grande envergure. Ces propriétés sont rassemblées dans les grandes classes qui comprennent l'identification, la physiographie, la géologie, la description de l'aquifère et les propriétés, l'équilibre de l'eau, l'utilisation des eaux souterraines et le risque. Les valeurs numériques associées à chacune des propriétés peuvent être utilisées pour créer des cartes thématiques, d'où l'importance d'utiliser des unités standardisées de mesure et de définition de ces propriétés. Lorsque les valeurs numériques ne sont pas disponibles, une description générale peut être fournie à la place. La description peut également être utilisée pour ajouter du contexte aux valeurs numériques. Parce que cet ensemble de données est la pierre angulaire de la vue nationale sur les eaux souterraines, l'information contextuelle supplémentaire (métadonnées) doit faire partie des données. Ainsi, pour chaque propriété, les métadonnées identifiant la source des données originales, des liens vers des données similaires dans le RIES et la description des processus, des algorithmes ou la méthodologie utilisée pour obtenir ces ensembles de données seront disponibles pour compléter les données.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>

                        <gco:CharacterString>Title: Hydrostratigraphic units and hydrogeologic contexts shapefile creation, Nanaimo -- Description: The hydrogeologic contexts were presented by an image (Fi.8 of the cited article). First, the image was georeferenced with a shapefile of the study area delimitation. The image was georeferenced using the « Georeferencing » toolbar in ArcGis. To bring the image roughly in the right location, a ""fit to display"" was applied. Three control points were then created to perfectlty overstrike the image and the study area shapefile. To do so, the « add control points » tool was used. The study area shapefile was duplicated by exporting data. The hydrogeologic contexts were then defined using the ""cut polygons"" tool on the study area duplicate shapefile. Each hydrogeologic context was identified in the attribute table.

After the files process to obtain hydrostratigraphic units shapefiles, all the shapefiles obtained: hydrostratigraphic units (7); bedrock (1) and hydrogeologic contexts (4) were combine into one, using the merge tool. The identification of each polygon was done in the attribute table.</gco:CharacterString>

L'image fut d'abord géoréférencée par rapport à la délimitation du territoire d'étude. Elle a été géoréférencée dans ArcGis via la barre d'outils « Georeferencing ». Elle fut rapportée approximativement à la bonne localisation en réalisant un « fit to display ». Trois points de contrôle furent ensuite créés afin de bien superposer l'image au shapefile de la délimitation du territoire d'étude, en utilisant l'outil « add control points ». Le shapefile montrant la délimitation de la zone d'étude fut dupliqué en appliquant « Export data ». Les contextes hydrogéologiques furent définis en employant l'outil « cut polygons » sur le duplicata de la zone d'étude. Chaque contexte hydrogéologique fut ensuite identifié dans la table d'attributs.

Après le traitement des fichiers permettant d'obtenir les shapefiles des unités hydrostratigraphiques, tous les shapefiles obtenus: unités hydrostratigraphiques (7), socle rocheux (1) et contextes hydrogéologiques (4) ont été rassemblés dans un shapefile via l'outil merge. L'identification de chaque polygone a été réalisée dans la table d'attributs.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>

                        <gco:CharacterString>Title: Hydrostratigraphic units and hydrogeologic contexts shapefile creation, Nanaimo -- Description: The original datasets show a shapefile for the bedrock and a raster for each hydrostratigraphic unit. The raster was converted into vector, using the ""Raster to polygon"" conversion tool. If the raster was floating point file type, the ""Int"" tool was used to convert the floating point raster to an integer value. The raster can then be converted into polygons. The polygons were aggregate using the tool ""aggregate polygons"" with an aggregation distance of 50 m. The polygons considered as unnecessary (mainly one pixel isolated polygons) were selected by their area and erased of the attribute table. The polygons contours were generalized using the ""smooth polygon"" tool with PAEK algorithm and a smoothing tolerance of 200 m.

After the files process to obtain hydrogeologic contexts, all the shapefiles obtained: hydrostratigraphic units (7); bedrock (1) and hydrogeologic contexts (4) were combine in one shapefile, using the merge tool. The identification of each polygon was done in the attribute table.</gco:CharacterString>

Le raster a tout d'abord été converti en vecteur, en employant l'outil de conversion ""Raster to polygon"". Si le raster est un fichier de type « floating point », l'outil « Int » est employé pour convertir le raster en valeur intégrée. La conversion du raster en polygone est ensuite possible. Les polygones obtenus sont regroupés via l'outil « aggregate polygons » avec une distance d'aggrégation de 50 m. Les polygones considérés superflus (principalement les polygones isolés, composés d'un pixel) sont sélectionnés par leur aire et effacés de la table d'attributs. Les contours des polygones ont été adoucis via l'outil « smooth polygon » avec l'algorithme PAEK et une tolérance de lissage de 200 m.

Après le traitement des fichiers permettant d'obtenir les shapefiles des contextes hydrogéologiques, tous les shapefiles obtenus: unités hydrostratigraphiques (7), socle rocheux (1) et contextes hydrogéologiques (4) ont été rassemblés dans un shapefile via l'outil merge.
