The BGS holds a considerable quantity of groundwater data, including systematic national hydrogeological mapping, water well records, time series of groundwater levels, groundwater quality analyses and many research datasets.
While primarily focused on the UK, the data collections include extensive collections of overseas data collected as part of BGS international activities over many years.
The datasets include:
- Aquifer properties data
- Geophysical logs
- Groundwater ecology
- BGS groundwater flooding
- Groundwater levels
- Hydrogeological maps
- International (country) data collections and maps
- Groundwater level information
- Water quality data, including Baseline data
- Well records — National Well Record Archive
The datasets are complemented by a range of publications and reports.
