Data
BGS is the national repository for groundwater data and information for the UK. It also has extensive holdings of international groundwater data and information. We are working to make this data available as far as possible. We have curated a list of many of our most popular and widely used datasets.
We have a long track record in providing UK and international partners — including government departments, industry and academia — with environmental data management and web delivery services.
