Metadata: Richelieu-Yamaska Region Confinement Conditions

Identification

Abstract

The dataset presents the vulnerability of the fractured bedrock aquifer. The study area includes contiguous watersheds of Yamaska and Richelieu rivers, and the Missisquoi Bay. Three confining conditions were considered; free, semi-confined and confined water table. These conditions were defined from estimated clayey and indifferenciated sediments thickness. The captive water table covers about a third of the study area (35%) and the semi-captive water table designates about half of the study area. The free water table conditions are observed on 16% of the study area and are mainly found in the Appalachians.
