Hydrogeological Regions of Germany 1:1,000,000 (HYREG1000)
Description
The map shows spatial units of Germany that can be uniformly described and delimited with respect to the type of flow as well as the chemical composition of the groundwater. In total, a distinction is made between five regions and 24 subregions, which have been assigned to the most important landscape units in Germany. For each subregion, a schematic lithological column profile has been compiled, showing a typical layered structure of the subsurface of each region. The types of rock are additionally subdivided into aquifers, aquitards and aquicludes. The aquifers are classified into the three classes of pore, fractured and karst aquifers, while the aquitards are divided into unconsolidated or consolidated rocks. Another distinction is made according to the prevailing chemical environment of the rock (silicate, carbonate, sulphate, organic). As a result, ten types of aquifers and six types of aquitards are distinguished. The basis for the map is the digital data of the Geological Map of Germany 1:1,000,000 (GK1000).
