Other constraints

This information has commercial potential and access should be subject to approval by IPR. The information should not be used to indicate actual groundwater level at a site. This can only be determined by a site specific assessment.

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Supplemental Information

The groundwater level data consists of two data layers in Geographical Information System (GIS) format. The main data layer consists of a gridded depth to groundwater, and a supplementary dataset that identifies areas where extra care is needed in use of the depth to groundwater dataset.

Unique resource identifier

OSGB 1936 / British National Grid (EPSG::27700)

Distribution format

• ESRI Shapefile ( Current BGS version )

OnLine resource

Depth to groundwater ( WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link )

The depth to groundwater dataset is a gridded interpolation of depth to groundwater. The dataset is a raster grid, with 50 × 50 m pixels holding values that represent the probable maximum depth in metres to the phreatic water table.
