Map of all groundwater wells and groundwater monitoring stations registered in GIN (Groundwater Information Network) and additional references layers related to Groundwater Geoscience Program of Natural Resources Canada. This data is distributed amongst several database and mediated to a single entry point dynamically. Some layers that have large amount of features will display generalised maps at national scale in order to improve drawing performance and then switch to individual features at local scale.
Canadian water wells datasets: Aggregation of all the participating provinces and territories (WaterWells)
Layer that comprises all the available water wells in GIN (Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia). This layer is a combinaison of all individual provincial and territorial layers. The original databases are dynamically converted by an automatic process managed by Natural Resources Canada (Groundwater Information Network).

Groundwater Level Monitoring Stations (MonitoringStations)
Aggragation of all groundwater monitoring stations from participating provincial agencies. This service gives access, through GetFeatureInfo operation, to historical groundwater level data. The data is also available throught a SOS 2.0 interface.
Richelieu Historical Groundwater Monitoring stations (Québec) (RichelieuMonitoringStations)
Location of Richelieu region's monitoring stations (Qc). This map gives access to graphs of timeseries.
Alberta Historical Groundwater Monitoring stations (AlbertaMonitoringStations)
Location of Alberta Groundwater Observation Well Network (GOWN). This map gives access to graphs of timeseries.
Nova Scotia Monitoring Stations (NovaScotiaMonitoringStations)
Collection of Nova Scotia's groundwater monitoring stations. This map gives access to graphs of timeseries.
Saskatchewan Monitoring Stations (SkMonitoringStations)
Collection of Saskatchewan's groundwater monitoring stations. This map gives access to graphs of timeseries.
Ontario Monitoring Stations (OntarioMonitoringStations)
Database of Ontario provincial groundwater monitoring stations managed by Ontario Conservation Authority. This map gives access to graphs of timeseries.
Hydrogeological Regions of Canada (HydroRegion)
The Hydrogeological Regions Map depicts first order regions of Canada that have distinct groundwater systems. The country is assigned to nine regions as determined by frozen ground, geology, and physiography. Frozen ground has a dominant affect in the continuous permafrost region and the southern limit of this region cuts across both physiographic and geological features. Geology controls surface expression of the landscape and subsurface water-bearing characteristics, and the bedrock contacts that delineate geological terrains and basins represent the major region boundaries. Physiographic features are influenced by geology and coincide closely with geological boundaries but also divide geological units where elevation dominates, primarily along the eastern limit of the Cordillera. Physiographic features provide hydraulic gradients for regional and local flow and combine with climatic and run-off characteristics to dictate the regional moisture surplus or deficit that affects recharge to and discharge from groundwater systems.
Aquifers - NRCan (HydrogeologicUnit)
This dataset captures information about hydrogeological units. A hydrogeological unit could be a hydrogeological region, a hydrogeological context, an aquifer system, an hydrostratigraphic unit or an aquifer. Unit descriptions include information related to identification, physiography, geology, aquifer description and properties, water balance, groundwater use and risk. The numerical values associated with some properties can be used to create thematic maps, hence the importance of using standardised units of measurements and definitions for these properties. When numerical values are not available, a general description is supplied instead. For each property, metadata identify the source of the original data, links to similar data in GIN, and a description of the processes, algorithms or methodology used to develop property values.
NRCan - Surficial Geology - Groundwater Projects (surficialgeology)
Surficial geology created or compiled in the context of Natural Resources Canada groundwater mapping projects.
NRCan - Bedrock Geology - Groundwater Projects (bedrockgeology)
Bedrock geology created or compiled in the context of Natural Resources Canada groundwater mapping projects.
Groundwater Usage (gw_usage)
This dataset illustrates the groundwater usage of an area or a given location.
Aquifer Confinement (gw_confinement)
Map of impermeable geologic units that impede movement of water to and from an aquifer. The information is generally derived from surface and bedrock geologic maps where known impermeable units are recognised.
Aquifer Vulnerability (gw_vulnerability)
Vulnerability maps calculated using various methods, but generally DRASTIC
Groundwater flow (gw_flow)
Map or figure of regional groundwater flow.
Groundwater composition (composition)
Natural or altered groundwater composition.
Hydraulic properties (hy_cond)
Hydraulic property measurements and calculations. May contain transmissivity, storage coefficients, hydraulic conductivity, specific storage coefficient and porosity values.
Groundwater samples (samples)
Groundwater sample locations.
Groundwater Level (gw_level)
Depth of the water table, generally measured at a well location.
Piezometry (gw_piezometry)
Piezometric surface
Recharge rate (gw_recharge)
Aquifer recharge estimate.
3D models (3dmodel)
Location of available hydrostratigraphic and hydrogeologic 3D models
