Abstract:
The Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales have updated its groundwater vulnerability map to reflect improvements in data mapping, modelling capability and understanding of the factors affecting vulnerability. Two new maps are available which show the vulnerability of groundwater to a pollutant discharged at ground level. The potential impact of groundwater pollution is considered using the aquifer designation status which provides an indication of the scale and importance of groundwater for potable water supply and/or in supporting baseflow to rivers, lakes and wetlands. This dataset for Wales has shared intellectual property (IP) between Natural Resources Wales and British Geological Survey.

statement:
The Groundwater vulnerability dataset has been developed primarily by the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales to show vulnerability of groundwater to pollutant discharged at ground level. It has been based on the hydrological, geological, hydrogeological and soil properties within a 1km square grid, and includes data from the British Geological Survey, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and National Soil Research Institute.
