This dataset contains the elevation data (metres above sea level), on a 1km spaced grid for southeast Saskatchewan, that delineates the structure surface separating saline groundwater from groundwater that is considered to be fresh as defined by the OGCR. Currently, the structure surface extends from the southeast corner of the province from the Manitoba border to range 15 West of the 2<\/SPAN>nd<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> meridian, and from the international border with the U.S.A. to township 11. This surface has been mapped using stratigraphic data from existing Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) water well datasets and PNG licensed well data that were interpolated with a Kriging algorithm. The structure surface for the Base of Groundwater Protection represents the subsurface elevation that is 15m below the top of the Pierre Shale Formation (Bearpaw equivalent). The Base of Groundwater Protection was mapped 15m below the top of the Pierre Shale Formation (Bearpaw equivalent) in order to account for any misinterpolation from the Kriging algorithm. The surface was created as a file geodatabase feature class and output for public distribution.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This dataset is the best-fit surface of usable groundwater in southeast Saskatchewan on a 1 km grid spacing.", "title": "Base of Groundwater Protection \u2013 elevation (metres above sea level) of the base of usable groundwater for the southeast corner of Saskatchewan, CSRS NAD83 Zone 13 (Extended), Ministry of Energy & Resources (2020)", "tags": [ "Groundwater", "Aquifer", "Cenozoic", "Quaternary", "Tertiary", "Upper Mesozoic", "Upper Cretaceous", "Bearpaw Formation", "Pierre Shale", "Southeast Saskatchewan", "Structure Map" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Any products derived from the use of the data provided by the Ministry of Energy and Resources Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas must be cited with the layers and date used to create those products.
