Other constraints

license

Other constraints

Data can be used internally, but is licensed for commercial use.

Other constraints

Either : (i) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under license; and / or (ii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted before the dataset can be provided to, or accessed by, BGS staff or external clients. 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 access restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (IPR@bgs.ac.uk) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

The data is derived from DiGMap-GB 50. Each lithology that occurred in DiGMap-GB was reattributed with permeability data. The maximum and minimum permeability indices were given for each geological unit along with the predominant flow mechanism. Hydrogeologists from BGS Wallingford and Edinburgh completed the attribution in Microsoft Access. This data was then joined to the DiGMap-GB GIS data in ESRI's ArcGIS. Each data layer is split into ten geographical areas to make them easier to display and interrogate. These include England and Wales - South East, England and Wales - South West, England and Wales - East Midlands, England and Wales - West Midlands and Wales, England and Wales - North East, England and Wales - North West, Scotland - East, Scotland - West, Scotland - North East, and Scotland - North West.
