Abstract

This grid represents the distribution of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the Scollard / Willow Creek hydrostratigraphic unit (HSU). It is a result of a geostatistical model which was constructed using publicly available water chemistry data from the following sources:

  1. Alberta Environment and Parks' (AEP) Alberta Water Well Information Database (AWWID)
  2. Alberta Health Services (AHS)
  3. Alberta Energy Research Institute (AERI)
  4. Baseline Water Well Test Database (BWWT)

The TDS surface was mapped at a regional scale using many years of data, thus providing a good indication of regional water chemistry within the unit rather than site-specific values.
