Identification

Abstract

This dataset shows the hydrogeological contexts of the Châteauguay regional aquifer, covering the Chateauguay River watershed. The Chateauguay aquifer exhibits three hydrogeological contexts: free, confined and semi-confined conditions. The free conditions are found where the deposits are thin, particularly at high elevations in the United States and between Saint-Chrysostome and Saint-Clotilde-de-Châteauguay. The confined conditions are mainly found in the Chateauguay River valley and on the St. Lawrence River shores. The semi-confined conditions are observed on other portions of the basin.

The raster comes from the contHydg.tif file of the Châteauguay project archives folder. The pixels values (1,2,3) were associated to the hydrogeological contexts (confied, semi-confined, unconfined) using the map on page 27 of the Châteauguay watershed Atlas.
