Description

Title: General processes -- Description: The datasets were extracted from all projects constituting this series.

Date / Time

Description

Groundwater mapping projects.

Description

Title: Creation of piezometric surface dataset for Milk River -- Description: The piezometric surfaces were compiled and converted to dataset except MIRTAP data, which were collected on the field. They were then converted into piezometric contours, joining the same piezometric surface with a line. Some groundwater path directions were taken from the literature. The other directions were drawn perpendicular to the piezometric contour with consideration for the hydrogeologic context.

Description

Title: Groundwater Piezometry raster creation - Nanaimo -- Description: The bedrock and Quadra piezometry maps (.mxd) were exported under png format and georeferenced. The images were georeferenced using the « Georeferencing » toolbar in ArcGis, referencing the georeferencing on the study area shapefile. To bring the images roughly in the right location, a ""fit to display"" was applied. The images were then projected using the tool ""Project"".
