Description:
Abstract:
Polygons representing major Sand and Gravel Aquifers in Manitoba. Polygons were developed by study of well driller reports during the 1980's.
Purpose:
To provide a very general view of the location of major Sand and Gravel Aquifers in Southern Manitoba.

Process_Description:
The map is based on hydrogeological information in published and unpublished reports by R.N. Betcher, J. Little, A. Pedersen, F. Render, M. Rutulis and D. Sie of the Department of Natural Resources, Water Resources Branch.; basic data on file with the Groundwater Section, Water Branch, Manitoba Conservation and Manitoba Mineral Resources Division Geological Map of Manitoba.

These paper maps were scanned and then geo-referenced using Arcview Spatial Analyst. The shapefiles were converted to Arcinfo coverages in 2001 and cleaned of all slivers. These slivers were of a very small nature and no further investigation of where the true boundary location was carried out. In January of 2002 the cover was checked against the Manitoba Provincial Boundary located on the MLI site. There was a gap of approximately 40 m between the provincial boundary and the bedrock cover. Due to the fact the sand and gravel cover is so general to begin with the provincial boundary was replaced with the MLI provincial boundary dataset.
