Abstract: This dataset accompanies Open File Report 2009-02. Between 1971 and 1983, the Alberta Research Council created a series of hydrogeological maps of Alberta. The geologists examined the sediment types present and used existing water well information to assign yield values to distinct zones within the mapped areas. They also looked at the materials, generally to a depth of 305 metres (1000 feet) below ground surface, and added the yields of the sediments encountered within this interval to arrive at a yield value for the whole. Alberta Geological Survey compiled the shapefiles for the yield polygons, digitized by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Agency, and then digitized the remaining linework for the remaining map areas. Afterwards, we created a geodatabase of the yield polygons for the entire province and assigned yield values to the polygons based on the original maps. We also assigned the most likely formation name, age and lithology to the yield polygon.

Data quality info:

Data quality: Scope: Scope: Hierarchy level: Scope code: dataset Report: Completeness commission: Result: unknown Report: Completeness omission: Evaluation method description: Attributes were assigned to all polygons. No selection criteria to cull any polygons from the dataset were used. Result: unknown Report: Conceptual consistency: Measure description: This shapefile contains vector data. Data are contiguous, topologically correct polygons as built and enforced using ArcGIS software. We made no effort to ensure continuity of features with existing data in adjacent study areas (i.e., edgematching). In some cases, the original mappers attempted to ensure continuity of features between adjacent study areas. During the compilation of the shapefile, Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) did not attempt additional edge matching. We found that all attributes have well-defined domains and were valid within the domains. Spot checks against the original maps were performed to check proper allocation of yield values to polygons. Georeferenced digital versions of the original hydrogeology maps were used as the basis for assigned polygon attributes. Yield polygons were assigned various colours depending on the assigned yield value. The colours for the same yield value varied between digital versions of hydrogeology maps, requiring careful consideration of the maps to properly assign yield values. The yield polygons are from two sources. The first is from digitization efforts completed by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) provided to AGS. AGS digitized polygons where PFRA did not digitize polygons or where the difference between the location of PFRA digitized polygons and the location of the lines on georeferenced versions of the hydrogeology maps was 100 m or more. Result: unknown Report: Non quantitative attribute accuracy: Measure description: A visual inspection of the map was completed by comparing the assigned yield attributes to some of the original hydrogeology maps. A visual inspection of the province-wide version of the yield map was completed to identify any obvious attribute assignment errors. Result: inapplicable Lineage: Lineage: Statement: Attributes were assigned to all polygons. No selection criteria to cull any polygons from the dataset were used. Process step: Process step: Description: Acquired digitized versions of the Alberta Research Council's hydrogeology maps from the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Agency (PFRA) and assessed the quality of the digitization. The digitized linework locations were compared to georeferenced versions of the Alberta Research Council's hydrogeology maps. Date and time: 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: Alberta Geological Survey completed the digitization of linework for map areas that the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Agency did not previously digitize. The georeferenced images of the Alberta Research Council hydrogeology maps were used as the basis for the digitization. Digitization was completed on a map area by map area basis. Cluster tolerances and topology tools were used to ensure closed polygons and consistency between adjacent and adjoining polygons. Date and time: 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: Create and populate a geodatabase. Domains were established to standardize entry of attributes in the geodatabase. Polygon shapefiles were imported into the geodatabase. Date and time: 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: Attributes were assigned to the polygons based on the original Alberta Research Council hydrogeology maps. Attributes included yield, primary, secondary and tertiary lithologies, and probable formation names and ages. Date and time: 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: Topology of adjacent map areas were verified using ArcGis topology tools. Date and time: 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: Quality assurance and control were performed to check assigned attributes. Date and time: 2008-01-01T00:00:00
