Abstract: This data release is a compilation of data that characterize Alberta groundwater springs. It was compiled from several government datasets and reports, and fieldwork conducted by Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) staff members. The source datasets include the digitized Alberta Research Council (ARC) Hydrogeology Map Series, the AGS Springs of Alberta report, ARC water chemistry data, Groundwater Resources Information Services (GWRIS) Index, Alberta Environmental Protection (AEP) springs, AGS Northeastern Alberta (NEALTA) project springs, field work conducted by Dr. J. Tóth and R. Stein, and other more recent spring sampling projects. The data release includes field measurements and water chemistry analyses, as well as some isotope data. Where they are available the dataset also includes references to reports for further information. The data is housed within two primary tables that are related to each other in a one-to-many relationship through the unique identifier field, UID. Also included in the data release are four reference tables containing descriptions of certain data attributes.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
Evaluation method description:
Some spring locations are provided as the center of the LSD, however there are some locations which are
centered on a quarter section. Therefore, the geographic location information may only be accurate to
within several hundred metres. More recent location data, i.e. generated by GPS technology, may be more
accurate, but may be inconsistant for temporal reasons as well as for the variety of observers. Some of
the data were generated by digitizing locations from 1:250,000 scale maps (Digital Hydrogeological map
series, Tóth Field Studies). These locations will be as accurate as the scale of the map allows. During
the course of the project, some locations were checked in the field, but in many cases it is impossible
to determine if the location provided by previous observers is correct even after visiting the site.
Springs can cease in one location and re-emerge in others over time. It is the author's impression that
most springs' locations provided from the various data sources were generally within a few hundred
metres of the expected site.

Vertical Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
Evaluation method description:
Many datapoints did not have an assigned elevation from the original data source. Therefore, a digital
elevation model (DEM) was used to assign this value. The provincial DEM was used. In some cases, where
data was available, Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) grids with 2 metre resolution were used.
However, because of the uncertainty of the location of the data (i.e. to the nearest LSD) the vertical
accuracy is unresolvable.

Evaluation method description:
Only data with geographic location information at the quarter section level or better (for example, the
center of the LSD would be better, the center of the township/range would be worse) was included in the
dataset. Selection criteria for obtaining springs data from the various source databases were the
keyword "Spring" on the appropriate field. Because the source databases were built for data other than
springs (waterwells, surface waters etc), some fields did not apply and were not used.

Measure description:
Location ID's are unique, but actual geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) may occur more than once.
The same measured, observed, or calculated parameter may be referred to by different names in datasets
from different laboratories or measured, observed, or calculated using different methodologies. Data
were incorporated into the dataset as is. There are null values within the attribute fields. Attribute
values were not checked for errors. Many different methods and laboratories were used for analysis and
many different individuals collected the data over decades of observation. There has been no consistency
in the methods used or the analyses performed on the data.

Environment Water Well Database (2010 release)
Record count=2846
The data were obtained from Alberta Environment's annual Water Well Database release (2010) in the
form of a CD. The data were selected (Proposed use=Springs) and uploaded to an Access database. All
information was uploaded in its original form, straight from the source with the exception of
elevation, which was converted to metres from feet. All other data were entered as they existed in
the source dataset and any errors originating at the source were carried into this dataset. The data
were checked as part of the larger dataset, but no detailed verification was conducted. Units of
measurement for the chemical data were imported as is from the source (i.e. mg/L or meq/L) and they
are recorded in the 'Original units of measure' (OUOM) field. Some of the source locations did not
include latitude and longitude. For those data the locations were calculated from the Dominion Land
Survey location to the center of the LSD using AGS in-house software. In cases where the original
data were located to the quarter section (i.e. NW, SW, NE, SE), the centre of the quarter section
was used. Latitude and longitude are provided in NAD83 projection.

The data were obtained from AGS INF 143 "Hydrogeological Field Notes by Dr. József Tóth: 1964-1969,
Central and Southern Alberta" and the accompanying DIG releases and uploaded to an Access database.
All information was uploaded in its original form, straight from the source. All data were entered
as they existed in the source dataset and any errors originating at the source were carried into
this dataset. The data were checked as part of the larger dataset, but no detailed verification was
conducted. Units of measurement for the chemical data were imported as is from the source (i.e. mg/L
or meq/L) and they are recorded in the 'Original units of measure' (OUOM) field. Latitude and
longitude were digitized from 1:250,000 scale maps. Latitude and longitude are provided in NAD83
projection.
