Abstract

This data release contains water chemistry data used to create a total dissolved solids (TDS) map of the Clearwater hydrostratigraphic unit (HSU). The source datasets are:

  1. Alberta Environment and Parks' (AEP) Alberta Water Well Information Database (AWWID), 
  2. Alberta Environmental Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Agency (AEMERA) Oil Sands Groundwater Monitoring Database [2016 version],
  3. Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) sampling program conducted between 1999 and 2001,
  4. Formation water chemistry data from drillstem test and production fluids from oil and gas wells.
  5. Compiled data from environmental impact assessments.

Data have been processed, relevant records selected, and outliers removed to compile this dataset.
