| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Reporting data and information on groundwater for an extensive area such as the continental landmass of Canada requires a coherent and well documented
approach. Due to the diversity of aquifers and the different objectives of groundwater mapping projects, the methods for reporting information and results are very heterogeneous. In addition, the multiple agencies responsible for groundwater
management imply an additional level of complexity, impeding greatly the capacity to create global and national data products on groundwater, one of the objectives of the Groundwater Geoscience Program. This document is a compilation of the
definitions and the technical documentation for the 15 themes (layers) defined for the Groundwater Geosciences Program. Named data product specifications, it is based on the ISO 19131 standard. It defines the requirements for a dataset and provides
the basis for producing the data. It also helps potential users to evaluate the fitness for use of a dataset. |
