Statement

The groundwater vulnerability dataset was produced in ArcGIS by combining a range of environmental datasets using a rule-based method to define a vulnerability classification. Groundwater vulnerability is described by one of five relative classes ranging from 1 (lowest vulnerability) to 5 (highest vulnerability). Input datasets include: BGS Geology 50K (formerly known as DiGMapGB-50 (Digital Geological Map of Great Britain at 1:50 000)) (Bedrock) Version 5.18 Permeability Dataset for Great Britain (Superficial) Version 6.0 (British Geological Survey 2010) Depth to groundwater level in superficial deposits (BGS) Depth to groundwater level in bedrock aquifers (BGS) HOST (Hydrology of Soil Types) Class from the James Hutton Institute (formerly the Macaulay Institute) Superficial deposits thickness (BGS)
