These boundaries are kept for historic purposes only. The Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Operations Regions dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the operations regions established for the Ministry of Environment and Parks to provide environmentally responsible services and management of the province's sustainable resources. Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Operations Regions were approved and effective May 29, 2013. These regions were made obsolete when the Ministry of Environment and Parks split into the Ministry of Forestry and Parks and the Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas.

The Rangeland Management Zones dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the Rangeland Management Zones in Alberta. A Rangeland Management Zone is an administrative area designated by the Lands Division in which grazing and other agricultural uses related to public land are managed by regional branch offices. The boundaries are used to ensure referrals are sent to the correct locations. The Rangeland Management Zones was formerly known as Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Rangeland Management Districts.

Aggragation of all groundwater monitoring stations from participating provincial and territorial agencies: - Nova Scotia Environment - Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks - Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development - Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment and Climate Change - Prince Edward Island Department of Environment, Energy and Climate Action - New Brunswick Environment - Quebec Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques - Manitoba Department of Agriculture and Resource Development - Saskatchewan Water Security Agency - British Columbia Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy - Yukon Water Resources Branch of the Department of Environment This web service complies with the OGC's SensorThings API standard and provides access to archives of historical and recent groundwater level measurements from provincial stations.

This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. The Alberta Ground Cover Classification Mosaic is a land cover dataset for the province of Alberta. It is a composite of the Alberta Ground Cover Classification (AGCC) created by Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for the green areas of the province and the Land Cover for Agricultural Regions of Canada, circa 2000 created by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for the white areas of the province.

This GIS dataset depicts an estimate of average annual groundwater recharge in the Edmonton-Calgary corridor based on hydrological water budget analysis using climate and hydrometric data from Environment Canada, the Water Survey of Canada, and Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development. This average annual groundwater recharge grid was generated to assist in building steady-state numerical groundwater flow models for large regions within the Edmonton-Calgary Corridor.

Tile layer of Canada's managed forested or treed areas and water used in the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017.This tiled layer data represents Canada's forested areas (& water) used in the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017. Canada's forest management classification map classifies all land and inland water areas. It does not differentiate forest areas from non-forest areas. Treed areas can be identified using a separate map layer that was derived using satellite data. Treed areas were used as a proxy for forested areas having a canopy closure of 25% or greater and a tree height of 5 m or greater.
