Atlas of Walloon Karst - Point Karst Sites

Description

This data layer constitutes an inventory of karst sites in a point form appearing in the Atlas of the Walloon Karst. In Wallonia, 30% of the subsoil is made up of soluble carbonate rocks (limestone, dolomite, chalk, gypsum, etc.). By infiltrating these rocks, runoff generates a dissolution of these rocks, which gives rise to particular phenomena both underground (caves, underground rivers) and on the surface (chantoirs, sinkholes, collapses, cavities, etc.). These phenomena are called "karstic". By extension, the word "karst" also refers to a limestone region, or more broadly a region of soluble rocks whose landscape is marked by the effects of dissolution. We therefore speak of "rock", "region" or "landscape" karst. The Atlas of Walloon Karst is the reference document for karst phenomena in Wallonia. In this context, the sites in which these phenomena take place are located and described, and two modes of representation follow: punctual or surface. This data layer includes all the karst sites, both underground and above ground, located punctually (via their X,Y coordinates). There are more than 8000 phenomena in this layer. The associated table includes an identifier for each phenomenon (IGN map number + unique site number), the name and qualifier of the site (e.g. Grotte d'Eprave), the municipality in which the phenomenon is located, the watercourse draining the area of the site, fields to differentiate the site according to their nature and a hyperlink to the site data sheet. The data layer is continuously updated by the Walloon Commission for the Study and Protection of Underground Sites (CWEPSS) with the help of many collaborators. It is managed by the Geological Service of Wallonia (SPW - DGO3 - DEE - DRIGM).
