Purpose

To show the location of underground bodies of water (e.g. aquifers) within the Watershed.

Data source(s)

B.C. Water Resources Atlas.  October 2005.

Explanation

Since 1961, the aquifer classification database is updated 3-4 times per year as new aquifers are identify, classified, mapped. The other aquifer characterization coverages are updated as required. The aquifer information is interpreted from raw data such as well records, water quality data, air photographs, and geologic maps. New data may change the line and polygon boundaries considerably. 

Disclaimer

The maps included in the Chilliwack River Watershed Atlas are not intended to be legal documents and it is important that users understand their limitations.  The data has come from many different sources collected at different times and therefore there are variations in the information provided.  In addition, the spatial accuracy of both resource and cadastral information will vary.  The maps are intended as a general guide that will need to be refined and updated.   Users are encouraged to contact the originator of the data in order to obtain up to date or more detailed mapping if required.
