Statement

The aquifer productivity data was developed in ArcGIS using BGS digital geology linework at a scale of 1:50,000: DiGMapGB-50, Version 5.18. Each of the geological formations in the 1:50 000-scale DiGMap superficial deposits geology map was classified according to the likely aquifer productivity. For a small number of map sheets, 1:50 000 scale superficial deposits mapping has not yet been done, and in these cases, superficial deposits linework and attribute data at other scales, including 1:625 000 scale, were merged in. Input datsets 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)
