Maps of Major Land Use - Land Cover Categories and Respective E. coli Contamination Potential Classes for Groundwater Wells in Ontario
| Description: | These maps contain data of 11 major Land Use - Land Cover (LULC) categories and their E. coli contamination potential for groundwater wells. The LULC categories included in this dataset include agricultural/pastural land, urban, open/barelands, aggregate mines, scrubland, disturbance, bedrock, forest, grasslands, wetlands, and water. The LULC impact on E. coli contamination potential for wells is classified as very high, high, moderate, and low. |
