Hydrogeological map 1:500.000 - Hydrogeological units
Description
Distribution of hydrogeological units as specialist layers of the hydrogeological map 1: 500 000. Zoom limit min. 1:1 000 000 to max. 1:200 000.
A hydrogeological unit means a rock body which, by virtue of its petrography, texture or structure, has uniform hydrogeological characteristics of a defined range and is bounded by stratum boundaries, facies boundaries, erosion margins or disturbances. The range in which a rock body is considered hydrogeologically homogeneous depends to a large extent on the processing and representation scale. A hydrogeological unit may consist of a single or a complex of several sedimentation bodies in loose rocks, or of a single layer or a sequence of layers of similar rock formation and similar degrees of separation in solid rocks.
The technical basis for the hydrogeological units is the hydrogeological overview map of Germany in scale 1:200,000 (HÜK200), which was prepared for the Bavarian share in the years 2000 to 2003 by the former Bavarian Geological Office in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) in Hanover. Geometry and legend units are designed for a viewing scale of 1:500,000 (1 cm on a map corresponds to 5 km in nature) and are generally highly generalized. The HK 500 is intended as a basis for larger-scale considerations, it does not replace detailed studies and assessment by a specialist office in the planning of local projects.
