EIONET groundwater bodies
Description
The service contains information on European groundwater bodies reported to the European Environment Agency.
The information was reported to the European Environment Agency under the State of Environment reporting obligations.
For the EU27 countries, Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom, the EIONET spatial data was consolidated with the spatial data reported under the Water Framework Directive reporting obligations. For these countries, the reference spatial data set is the "WISE WFD Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Water Framework Directive".
Relevant concepts:
Groundwater body: 'Body of groundwater' means a distinct volume of groundwater within an aquifer or aquifers.
Groundwater: All water which is below the surface of the ground in the saturation zone and in direct contact with the ground or subsoil.
Aquifer: Subsurface layer or layers of rock or other geological strata of sufficient porosity and permeability to allow either a significant flow of groundwater or the abstraction of significant quantities of groundwater.
