Data and information
The BGS is the national repository for groundwater data and information and in addition have extensive holdings of international groundwater data and information. We are working to make this available via this website:
- Groundwater levels
- Susceptibility to groundwater flooding
- Hydrogeological maps
- Well records — National Well Record Archive
The BGS runs a hydrogeological enquiries service that provides data and information related to among other things, borehole prognoses, and groundwater flooding susceptibility.
The BGS has a long track record in providing UK and international partners — including government departments, industry and academia — with environmental data management and web delivery services.
