Example report
Example Land Report: a Farm Quarter in County of Wetaskiwin, Alberta
Water and wells
Nearby well records suggest completed wells around 69 m deep, with static water levels often 12–31 m below surface. The predominant aquifer on file is Paskapoo Formation bedrock. Pothole wetlands and Paskapoo wells share the same landscape. A wet field edge is not the same as a reliable aquifer. Keep wetland flags and well logs in separate folders.
Climate and growing season
Hardiness zone 3b, with about 120 frost-free days. Wetaskiwin’s zone 3b label is usable for shelterbelts. Fruit on a frost pocket still needs a thermometer, not a brochure.
Solar
Typical summer irradiance is near 6.1 kWh/m²/day and winter near 0.9. Rolling parkland creates local shade. A south slope above the Battle River can outperform a flat quarter that looks ‘more open’ on a listing photo.
Wetlands and flood
Wetland density here is moderate to high. Flood-hazard areas commonly discussed in the county: Battle River, Pipestone Creek. A real report flags mapped wetlands and flood status inside your boundary.
