The potential GWDTE sensitivity of each polygon containing a potential GWDTE is classified on a 4-tier approach as follows: ‘Highly – dominant’ where potential high GWDTE(s) dominate the polygon, ‘Highly - sub-dominant’ where potential high GWDTE(s) make up a sub-dominant percentage cover of the polygon, ‘Moderately – dominant’ where potential moderate GWDTE(s) dominate the polygon and no potential high GWDTEs are present and ‘Moderately - sub-dominant’ where potential moderate GWDTE(s) make up a sub-dominant percentage cover of the polygon and no potential high GWDTEs are present. Where a potential high GWDTE exists in a polygon it out ranks any potential moderate GWDTE communities within that same polygons. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>AnnexI_1– Where a Habitats Directive Annex I habitat type exists within the polygon it is given the corresponding Annex I habitat reference code.

Description: The dataset describes the relative vulnerability of groundwater to contamination across Scotland, by means of five relative classes ranging from 1 (lowest vulnerability) to 5 (highest vulnerability). The dataset is a screening tool that can be used to show the relative threat to groundwater quality from contamination across Scotland. It can provide guidance on the vulnerability of groundwater at a regional scale, highlighting areas at comparatively higher risk of groundwater contamination, and can help indicate the degree of specific site investigation required for a new development or activity. It is designed to be used at a scale of 1:100,000 and should be regarded as a tool to aid groundwater risk assessment rather than a complete solution.

Description: The dataset describes the potential of superficial deposit aquifers across Scotland to sustain various levels of borehole water supply, based on four productivity classes: high; moderate to high; moderate; and a category to signify that a deposit is ‘not a significant aquifer’. All superficial deposits aquifers in Scotland are assumed to have primarily intergranular groundwater flow.
The dataset is a tool to indicate the location and productivity of superficial deposit aquifers across Scotland. It may have several uses, including in policy analysis and development; to prioritise aquifer and site investigations; to inform planning decisions; and to improve awareness of groundwater in general. The complexity and heterogeneity of geological formations means that the dataset is only a guide. It is designed to be used at a scale of 1:100,000, and not to assess aquifer conditions at a single point.
Description: The data that comprises the geological theme of 'Bedrock' as depicted on the 1:50000 published map described in the 'Title' reference. The data may have been improved for edge fitting purposes or reported problems.
Description: The dataset describes the potential of bedrock aquifers across Scotland to sustain various levels of borehole water supply, and the dominant groundwater flow type in each aquifer. There are five aquifer productivity classes: very high, high, moderate, low and very low, and three groundwater flow categories: significant intergranular flow; mixed fracture/intergranular flow; and fracture flow. The dataset is a tool to indicate the location and productivity of bedrock aquifers across Scotland. It may have several uses, including in policy analysis and development; to prioritise aquifer and site investigations; to inform planning decisions; and to improve awareness of groundwater in general. The complexity and heterogeneity of geological formations means that the dataset is only a guide. It is designed to be used at a scale of 1:100,000, and not to assess aquifer conditions at a single point.
