|
Definition:
|
The type of permeable geologic formation that composes the aquifer.
|
Description:
|
The ability of the aquifer to store water is dependent on the porosity and permeability
of the aquifer composition.

1
A dark-colored fine-grained extrusive or intrusive igneous rock composed largely of
plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene.
|
boulders
|
2
Loose rock (sediment) larger than 256 millimetresá(10 inches).
|
clay
|
3
A clastic mineral particle of any composition that has a grain size smaller than 1/256
millimetres.
Descriptive of a broad category of hydrous silicate minerals in which the silica tetrahedrons
are arranged into sheets. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing
rock.
|
conglomerate
|
4
A clastic sedimentary rock that contains large (greater than 2.0 millimetresáin diameter)
rounded or semirounded rock particles.
The space between the rock particles are generally filled with smaller particles and/or
chemical cement that bind the rock together.
|
dolomite
|
5
A sedimentary rock type of compact limestone consisting of calcium magnesium carbonate
in the form of the mineral dolomite.
|
granite
|
6
A coarse-grained, intrusive igneous rock composed primarily of light colored minerals
such as quartz, orthoclase, sodium plagioclase and muscovite mica.
|
gravel
|
7
Clastic sedimentary particles of any composition that are greater than 2.0 millimetresáin
diameter and less than 256 millimetres.
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing rock.
|
igneousRock
|
8
Rock formed by the solidification of molten rock material below the Earth's surface
or rock formed at the Earth's surface as a result of the partial melting of rocks
within the mantle and crust.
When formed below the Earth's surface it is called intrusive igneous rocks. When formed
at the Earth's surface it is called extrusive igneous rocks.
|
karst
|
9
A landscape, normally underlain by limestone, dolomite or gypsum, where the topography
is primarily formed by the dissolving of rock by water, and in which the bedrock may
be characterized by voids and cavities.
Karst areas have numerous depressions and/or valleys caused by the collapse of the
underlying bedrock. Karst topography is characterized by sinkholes, sinking streams,
closed depressions, subterranean drainage, and caves.
|
limestone
|
10
A sedimentary rock that contains at least 50 percent calcium carbonate in the form
of calcite by weight.
Limestone is usually formed from shells of once-living organisms or other organic
processes, but may also form by inorganic precipitation.
|
marl
|
11
A calcium carbonate or lime-rich mud or mudstone which contains variable amounts of
clays and aragonite.
It is formed by precipitation in lake or marine settings. High calcium carbonate content
tends to make dried marl earthy and crumbly.
|
metamorphicRock
|
12
Existing rocks that have been altered by heat and pressure or by contact with molten
magma.
Examples include quartzite and marble.
|
mud
|
13
A sedimentary material consisting of a mixture of clay and/or silt with water to form
a plastic mass with a grain size preponderantly below 0.06 millimetresádiameter.
Mud is deposited in low-energy environments in lakes, estuaries and lagoons. It may
also be deposited in deep-sea environments.
|
sand
|
14
A sedimentary material, finer than gravel and coarser than silt, with grains between
1/16 and 2.0 millimetresáin diameter.
|
schist
|
15
A metamorphic rock containing abundant particles of mica, characterized by strong
foliation, and originating from a metamorphism in which directed pressure plays a
significant role.
|
unconsolidated
|
16
Sediment that has not been lithified.
Lithification is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate
fluids, and gradually become solid rock.
|
semiConsolidatedVolcanicAsh
|
17
Fine particles of volcanic rock and glass blown into the atmosphere by volcanic eruptions,
which have settled to form semi-consolidated to consolidated layers, for example tuff,
but may include agglomerate, pyroclastic breccia, lapillistone, and lapilli tuff.
Volcanic ash includes tiny jagged pieces of rock and glass that are hard, mildly corrosive,
conduct electricity when wet, and does not dissolve in water.
|
volcanicRock
|
18
Rock formed by the solidification of molten rock material at or near the Earth's surface.

|
Definition:
|
An indication that an aquifer is overlain by a confining bed consisting of a layer
of rock, or of unconsolidated sediments, that possesses a very low hydraulic conductivity
and thus retards the movement of water into and out of the aquifer.
|
Description:
|
A confined aquifer is under pressure so that when the aquifer is penetrated by a well,
the water will rise above the top of the aquifer. The water level in a well open to
a specific confined aquifer stands at the level of the potentiometric surface. If
the potentiometric surface is above land, the well is often considered as a free-flowing
artesian well.

Definition:
|
The difference between the recorded elevation of a feature and its true elevation
referenced to the same vertical datum expressed as a linear error at 90 percent probability.
|
Description:
|
It may also be applied to a data set. If the data contains multiple accuracies, usually
the worst accuracy which applies to 10% or more of the data is recorded.

GEM-zI008.WID-singleValue
|
Definition:
|
The dimension of a feature taken perpendicular to its primary alignment of use and
generally in the horizontal plane.
|
Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line right-of-way, a river, rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the width is the distance perpendicular to
the bridge centre-line and generally in the horizontal plane. In the case of a dam,
the width is the distance perpendicular to (across the) the dam crest. If no such
direction of flow or use exists then (1) if the feature is irregular in shape its
width is taken perpendicular to the direction of its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the shorter axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

good
|
4
The ground water potential is good, and successful completion of drilling a water
well is highly likely.
Aquifer characteristics such as yield, depth to aquifer, aquifer thickness, water
quality, and aquifer and overburden characteristics all indicate that drilling a water
well will probably be successful.
|
moderate
|
3
The ground water potential is moderate, but successful completion of drilling a water
well should be expected.
There may still be water supply limitations or difficulty in drilling due to one or
more aquifer characteristics: yield; depth to aquifer; aquifer thickness; water quality;
and aquifer and overburden characteristics.
|
poor
|
2
The ground water potential is poor and caution should be exercised when planning or
developing a water well.
Water supply limitations are to be expected. In addition, there may be difficulty
in drilling due to one or more aquifer characteristics: yield; depth to aquifer; aquifer
thickness; water quality; and aquifer and overburden characteristics.
|
unsuitable
|
1
The ground water potential is unsuitable for drilling a water well for military purposes
because either the aquifer is too deep to be economically viable (greater than 500
metres), or one or more aquifer parameters are unknown.
Parameters contributing to unsuitability may include one or a combination of low yield,
little aquifer thickness, great depth to aquifer, the presence of saline water, and
aquifer material and/or overburden material composed of hard igneous and metamorphic
rocks.

regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in
Spanish.

UFI
|
Definition:
|
The globally unique and persistent identifier of an entity (for example: feature or
event) instance as specified by a Uniform Resource Name (URN) in accordance with the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC2396 and RFC2141.
|
Description:
|
It is based on the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), a compact string of characters
for identifying an abstract or physical resource. The term 'Uniform Resource Name'
(URN) refers to the subset of URI that are required to remain globally unique and
persistent even when the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable. The URN
is drawn from one of a set of defined namespaces, each of which has its own set name
structure and assignment procedures.
