Abstract
This grid represents the distribution of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the Paskapoo hydrostratigraphic unit (HSU). It is a result of a geostatistical model which was constructed using publicly available water chemistry data from the following sources:
- The Alberta Government's Alberta Water Well Information Database (AWWID)
- A previous Alberta Geological Survey water sampling project reported in AGS Special Report 81
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.
