Abstract

This digital product was developed as part of a Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) initiative to identify and characterize surficial aquifers in the province.

The purpose of this project is to build a spatial inventory and preliminary characterization of surficial aquifers across the province through the analysis of existing stratigraphic information and relevant historical reporting. An inventory of key surficial aquifers should improve the province's understanding of these water resources and assist groundwater development, protection and management efforts.
