Example report
Example Land Report: a Farm Quarter in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta
Water and wells
Nearby well records suggest completed wells around 15 m deep, with static water levels often 4–22 m below surface. The predominant aquifer on file is Alluvial gravels and fractured mountain bedrock. The Pass is a string of former coal towns in a mountain valley. Most residents are on municipal water; rural parcels rely on shallow alluvial wells or springs. Old mine workings complicate groundwater in places.
Climate and growing season
Hardiness zone 4a, with about 125 frost-free days. Zone 3b with roughly 95 frost-free days, moderated by chinooks and cut by elevation. Expect snow in any month.
