Supplemental Information

Date of some data capture may be unknown, but this does not materially affect data validity. Ongoing update of database subject to funding and is project driven. Density of data in proportion to drilling densities, from 1 per km2 to less than 1 per 100 km2. The summary data are included as CD-ROMS with printed copies of the Aquifer Property Manual publications. The database in Allen et al contains data on the Major Aquifers, Jones et al contains the summary data for both major and minor aquifers. The software formats used on the CD-ROMs may be outdated and Excel versions of the data can be supplied it to purchasers of the manuals on request. Detailed data are available in various formats by special arrangement.

Statement

The data were compiled from original paper records collected by the EA for abstraction licensing, and by BGS for research. Data were subject to review and were assessed by project staff for completeness and interpretation accuracy. The original data were collated to give 'best' estimates for each parameter in individual boreholes and, where boreholes fell within a 100 metre radius, for groups of boreholes. Only the collated data is normally released.
