Example report
Example Land Report: a Farm Quarter in Leduc County, Alberta
Water and wells
Nearby well records suggest completed wells around 25 m deep, with static water levels often 3–7 m below surface. The predominant aquifer on file is Paskapoo Formation bedrock. South of the International Airport the land is a mix of cultivated fields and kettle wetlands. Wells here often finish in Paskapoo sandstone; yield is the variable, not just depth.
Climate and growing season
Hardiness zone 3b, with about 120 frost-free days. Leduc’s frost-free window is slightly longer than counties west of the city, yet low ground around the lakes can still lose a June night to frost.
Solar
Typical summer irradiance is near 6.1 kWh/m²/day and winter near 0.9. Airport-adjacent parcels are open, but wind and icing on racks still matter. Size for winter irradiance, then check obstruction from future shelterbelts you intend to plant.
Wetlands and flood
Wetland density here is moderate. Flood-hazard areas commonly discussed in the county: Telford Lake drainage, Saunders Lake fringe. A real report flags mapped wetlands and flood status inside your boundary.
