Static-Water-Level Elevation Contours in the Grand Centre, Sand River, Ethel Lake and Muriel Lake Formations, and Empress Formation Unit 1 and 3 in the Cold Lake-Beaver River Drainage Basin (GIS data, line feature)

Alberta Geological Survey partnered with Alberta Environment (AENV) Northern Region to compile and analyze groundwater data in the Cold Lake-Beaver River Drainage Basin. This compilation and analysis assisted AENV and its stakeholders to complete an update of the Beaver River-Cold Lake Water Management Plan. This digital file provides the contours of the hydraulic-head distributions for the Grand Centre, Sand River, Ethel Lake and the Muriel Lake formations, and the Empress Formation Units 1 and 3 based on reported static-water levels from water wells within the study area.
