Abstract
 


This GIS dataset depicts the groundwater yield continuum for southern Alberta. The yield continuum classifies groundwater yield along a spectrum that helps define total groundwater availability. The classes within the groundwater yield continuum from most conservative to maximum mining are: nonuse, permissive sustained yield, maximum sustained yield, permissive mining yield, maximum mining yield.
