Abstract

This grid represents the hydraulic head distribution in the Wabiskaw hydrostratigraphic unit (HSU). It is a result of a geostatistical model which was constructed using publicly available data from the following sources:

  1. Pressure data from drillstem tests from oil and gas wells
  2. Water-level data from monitoring wells compiled from environmental impact assessments
     

The hydraulic head distribution was mapped at a regional scale using many years of data, thus providing a general indication of regional groundwater flow within the unit rather than site-specific values.
