The datasets used to produce the aquifer maps, the shale and clay occurrence maps and the separation maps are available to download for your own use. As with other BGS datasets available for download, they will enable you to work offline to develop your own systems and methodologies using BGS data.
The data used to produce the aquifer, shale and clay maps is available as ESRI GIS and KML files.
