Identification

Abstract

This dataset shows the groundwater level of the Annapolis Valley area. The aquifer extends in five watersheds: Annapolis, Cornwallis, Canard, Habitant and Pereau. The groundwater levels are from the NSEL well log database (1667), the NSEL pump test database (91), springs (197), and the GSC field campaigns (242). The data are from 1996 - 2005. The groundwater levels range between approximatively 0 to 250 masl.

Introduction
General process description
Process step Sources
The dataset comes from the file piez_pts.shp of the Annapolis project archives folder. Data regarding underground water elevation is from the field El_min_m_ and the underground water depth data from the field Prof_stat. The well elevation was establish by adding the values from the field dnec_1_50k and the length of the top casing above the ground.
