Terrain mapping and land use suitability mapping and assessment for infrastructure development on First Nations lands
Project Description
Desktop terrain analysis and land use suitability studies were carried out for 24 First Nations in southern Saskatchewan. Each study consisted of detailed terrain analysis using large scale stereoscopic air photos and creation of 1:10,000 scale air photo maps showing terrain units and interpreted soil parent material composition and texture, depositional environment, surface landforms and limiting conditions for infrastructure development (for example, seasonal flooding, foundation conditions, surface drainage, etc.) The suitability of each terrain unit was evaluated for the following types of infrastructure development: light foundations, road subgrade construction and maintenance, traffic gravel source, liquid waste disposal, septic tank effluent disposal, deep trenching for water and sewage utilities and groundwater sources.
