The National Well Record Archive held by the British Geological Survey is a collection of over 105 000 records of springs, water wells and water boreholes in England, Wales and Scotland. The majority of the original records are available as borehole scans.
The National Groundwater Level Archive held by the British Geological Survey records measurements of the depth below the ground surface of the water table, or its height above sea level across 181 sites in the UK.
Groundwater levels depend on aquifer properties, local geological conditions and a complex balance between recharge from rainfall, and discharges to rivers or pumped abstraction.
The data can be used to quantify resources, to understand the flow of groundwater and to measure the impacts of abstraction.
Hydrogeological maps at a national scale for England & Wales and Scotland bring basic geological information together with data on the hydraulic and hydrochemical characteristics of the rocks and their usefulness for groundwater supply.
A spreadsheet, produced by the Environment Agency, showing the classification status and environmental objectives for the Water Framework Directive for groundwater bodies across all River Basin Districts in England and Wales.
The spreadsheet gives the following information for each groundwater body:
The Geological Society's Hydrogeological Group and IAH are pleased to announce a two-day conference on 13-14 September 2016 to celebrate the International Association of Hydrogeologists 60th anniversary and the Geological Society's Year of Water, hosted by the University of Birmingham. The conference will incorporate the Ineson Lecture and re-launch of Groundwater our Hidden Asset, supported by the Groundwater Forum.
The Water Security Knowledge Exchange Portal supports the objectives of the UK Water Partnership - a collaboration between the water industry, policy and research communities. It provides guidance and co-ordination for water research and innovation in the UK.
