Superficial deposits

  • English

Sediment data show mainly the prevalence of soil types covering the bedrock surface. Most of the soils were formed during and after the last ice age. The data shows only the soil that dominates in the upper meters of the terrain surface. Thick and thin layers by other soils may occur further down in the soil profile.

Purpose

The superficial deposits are a fundamental natural resource in line with water and air. They form the basis for plant and animal life, and thus for agriculture and settlement. The data is a necessary help to achieve reasonable land use and the best possible management of the superficial deposits.

Specific usage

The dataset can be used as basis for decision making in the overall land-use and environmental planning, vulnerability analysis, assessment of ground conditions, and groundwater and infiltration potential. Sediment data in scale range of 1: 250,000 is intended to provide a regional overview. In municipal planning for example, there is a need for more detailed soil data and data mapped in scale 1: 50,000 or better may be used.

Supplemental Information

The data set also include the attribute InfiltrationCapasity (INFILT) and GroundwaterPotensial (GRUNNVANN) for the LosmasseFlate object type. Definition of INFILT: The attributes of the soil in relation to infiltrating and cleansing waste water. Definition of GRUNNVANN: The potential of the superficial deposits to contain ground water resources. Derived themes based on the attributes of the type of superficial deposit.
