Groundwater Resources Maps of Euroupe

groundwater resource maps of Europe at 1:500000 scale. This includes links to country based reports and and final project report there are 38 map sets with four different themes:

1. Inventory of aquifers;

2. Hydrogeology of aquifers;

3. Groundwater abstraction;

4. Potential additional groundwater resources.

The maps, covering 9 countries - Belgium, Federal Republic of Germany, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands and United Kingdom, were compiled from existing data sources.

Purpose

This inventory aims to aid better use and management of water resources and to permit modeling, taking into account administrative and political aspects of the European Community. A new derived symbology, that ensures uniform mapping of the results throughout the European Community, makes the information more accessible and meaningful to the decisions-makers responsible for a better exploitation of Europe’s groundwater resources.
