Infiltration SuDS Map (Sustainable Drainage Systems)

This national dataset brings together sixteen national datasets to create a GIS product that provides the information necessary to determine the extent to which the ground is suitable for infiltration sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). It includes derivations of the following datasets: soluble rocks, landslide hazards, groundwater flooding susceptibility, made ground, shallow mining hazards, geological indicators of flooding, depth to water table, superficial thickness, compressible ground, collapsible ground, swelling clays, running sands, predominant flow mechanism, permeability indices and the Environment Agencys source protection zone dataset. All datasets have been reclassified and reattributed (with text descriptions and a score field indicating the suitability of the ground for infiltration) and feature in the end product both as single entities, but also in derived 'screening' maps that combine numerous datasets.

Access constraints

Unrestricted access/use for BGS staff. Dataset created for a specific purpose, i.e. to determine the suitability of the ground for infiltration SuDS. This dataset contains no data in itself, it is a overarching dataset structure that brings together the following datasets: Mining Hazard (not including coal) in Great Britain for Sustainable Underground Drainage, SuDS_drain_bedrockpermeability_2012 , SuDS_drain_depthtowater_2012 , SuDS_drain_geologicalindicatorsofflooding_2012, SuDS_drain_screen_2012 , SuDS_drain_superficialpermeability_2012, SuDS_drain_superficialthickness_2012, SuDS_infiltrationconstraints_madeground_2012, SuDS_infiltrationconstraints_landslides_2012, SuDS_infitlrationconstraints_screen_2012, SuDS_infiltrationconstraints_shallowGW_2012, SuDS_infiltrationconstraints_shallowmining(non-coal)_2012, SuDS_infiltrationconstraints_solublerocks_2012, SuDS_stability_collapsibles_2012, SuDS_stability_compressibles_2012, SuDS_stability_landslides_2012, SuDS_stability_runningsand_2012, SuDS_stability_screen_2012, SuDS_stability_shallowmining_2012, SuDS_stability_solublerocks_2012, SuDS_stability_swellingclay_2012, SuDS_waterquality_madeground_2012, SuDS_waterquality_predominantflowmechanism_2012, SuDS_waterquality_screen_2012, SuDS_waterquality_sourceprotectionzone_2012 [13605612]. This dataset is of limited value without this accompanying data. This overall dataset, called the Infiltration SuDS Map, can be released to the public as an entity which includes all the above datasets. We may also decide to release SuDS_infiltrationmconstraints_screen_2012 [13605591], SuDS_drain_screen_2012 [13605597], SuDS_stability_screen_2012 [13605603] and SuDS_waterquality_screen_2012 [13605611] as a separate product that provides screening level data only without the underlying datasets. Data within the Infiltration SuDS Map will also be used in the SuDS GeoReport.
