Groundwater Usage, Groundwater Geoscience Program
The amount of groundwater exploited is estimated in m³/year. Groundwater usages are classified in four categories: agricultural, industrial, domestic and energy. Typically, groundwater usage should be represented as a series of sub-polygons or points fitting inside the boundary of the hydrogeological unit. The scope and method used to estimate the amount of water are described in the metadata associated with the dataset. The dataset identifies the main usages for the hydrogeological unit. It features numbers and percentages describing groundwater usages for a predetermined scope. The groundwater usage is frequently compiled by municipalities or counties. It could then be possible to display the usage by superimposing a series of pie charts depicting the groundwater usages over multiples administrative areas.

- Title: General process description - AFSOQ -- Description: The dataset was built according to the geometry included in the mrctrim.shp file and of the newsletter "Inventaire canadien des ressources en eau souterraine: Caractérisation hydrogéologique régionale et intégrée du système aquifère du sud-ouest du Québec" (figure 55) produced by the Geological Survey of Canada. Water quantity was calculated by usage type using the total consummation and the percentage of usage per type. Water for crops and livestock usage was regrouped under agriculture usage, water for aqueducts and private wells usage was regrouped under domestic usage and water for quarry, bottled water, gulfs was regrouped under industrial usage.

Title: General process description - Chaudiere -- Description: The dataset comes from the 4.5 map (Utilisation de l'eau souterraine estimée par catégorie d'utilisateurs et par sous-bassins) of the Atlas des eaux souterraines du bassin versant de la rivière Chaudière. Domestic usage was established by adding private wells usage and municipalities usage.
The dataset geometry was built by georeferencing the map and creating polygons with ArcGIS.

- Title: General process description - Chateauguay -- Description: The data regarding groundwater consumption was found in the Châteauguay River Watershed Atlas (p.48-49). The only available data regarding groundwater and surface water ratio was for the entire studied region and not for each RCM the available data was still used for each RCM. The geometry data comes from the mrc.shp file.

- Title: General process description - Saint-Mathieu Esker -- Description: The dataset is from table 2:'Distribution de la consommation en eau à la ville d'Amos' from the project 'Système aquifère de l'esker Saint-Mathieu Berry, Abitibi' by Marie-Noëlle Riverin (2003). The industrial underground water usage correspond's to the sum of the water consumption of the businesses, industries, institutions, fish farming and water bottling plant. The water consumption values expressed in litre/day were converted to m³/year. The dataset geometry comes from the esker_profondeur.shp file of the archives pkg_esker. folder.
