The Groundwater Information Network (GIN) aims to improve knowledge of groundwater systems and enhance groundwater management through increased access to groundwater information. GIN connects water well databases from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Nova-Scotia, and Yukon, and provides some key aquifer information from Natural Resources Canada. The information can be accessed by clicking on a link above. It can then be viewed on a map of Canada or in 3D, queried one well or aquifer at a time, and multiple items can be downloaded in a common structure using a variety of convenient digital formats such as GWML (Groundwater Mark-up Language), Excel, ESRI and Google Earth. The information is accessed dynamically from its host location using open geospatial information standards, and then translated on-the-fly to the selected output format. The project was initiated with GeoConnections.
