Continuous digital hydrogeological map of Spain at a scale of 1:200.000

  • English

The continuous Hydrogeological Map of Spain in digital format at a scale of 1:200,000 is based on the Lithostratigraphic and Permeability Map of Spain, continuous at a scale of 1:200,000 and represents the mapped lithostratigraphic levels, grouped by range of permeability and the associated lithologies, and represented with a certain colour and tone, so that it is possible to visualise the areas associated with the different aquifers on the map. Blue colours represent porous aquifers, green colours represent fissured or karstic aquifers and brown colours represent impermeable or low permeability formations. Productivity is represented by the tone, in the case of permeable formations, dark tones indicate greater productivity and in the case of impermeable formations indicate greater impermeability. For the preparation of the Hydrogeological Map, once it had been verified that the formations that make up the main aquifers were cartographically differentiated on the Lithostratigraphic and Permeability Map of Spain, a hydrogeological legend was drawn up, grouping them according to their permeability, geometry, hydraulic relationship and hydrogeological functioning. This work was carried out taking into account the existing information on the different aquifers in Spain as well as the groundwater bodies defined in accordance with the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The continuous Hydrogeological Map of Spain in digital format at a scale of 1:200,000,000 arises from the need for a continuous map of the entire national territory on which to capture the information and distribution of the groundwater bodies (m.a.s). This cartography is adapted to the hydrographic network and the shadow model made by CEDEX, at a scale of 1:20,000, from the topographic base, at a scale of 1:50,000, of the Army Cartographic Service. The cartographic information is referenced to coordinates in UTM projection, European Datum, zone 30, except for the Canary Islands, which is referenced to zone 28. The Hydrogeological Map is made up of a polygonal layer of cartographic units (LPLIT) and the external tables Hidro.dat and Descrip_hidro.dat. The format of the information generated is Shape file.

Purpose

Hydrogeological information and maps are needed to define and delimit groundwater bodies with greater precision, so that this information makes it possible to: indicate the location and limits of groundwater bodies, define the general characteristics of the overlying strata of the catchment area, sources of contamination, etc. And to carry out additional characterisation of the m.a.s. at risk where it is necessary to establish their recharge areas, the characteristics of the chemical composition of the waters, the location of groundwater abstraction points, protected areas and their characteristics. This map was prepared by means of a "Collaboration Agreement between the Ministry of the Environment (General Secretariat for Territory and Biodiversity. Directorate General for Water) and theGeological Survey of Spain for carrying out technical work in relation to the implementation of the Water Framework Directive on groundwater'' signed in 2004.

Units of distribution

The Hydrogeological map of Spain is composed of: Cartographic units (LPLIT): Lithological polygonal enclosures with the cartographic units coded according to the FH field. Each enclosure or polygon has a numerical code corresponding to the geological formation according to the lithostratigraphic column (FH). Two external tables: Hidro.dat, which assigns to each lithostratigraphic unit (FH) the corresponding hydrogeological code according to type of formation and permeability (COD_HIDRO). This code will be used for the graphic representation of the information. Y Descrip_hidro.dat. Relates each lithostratigraphic formation (FH) with its corresponding formation after grouping according to hydrogeological criteria (C_HD).

Statement

The map is based on the lithostratigraphic map and the permeability map of Spain at a scale of 1:200,000, both continuous and digital. From the information on these maps, two processes can be distinguished that give rise to the hydrogeological map. Preparation of the hydrogeological legend: this groups the different cartographic formations according to their permeabilities, geometry, hydraulic relationship and hydrogeological functioning. This work was carried out taking into account both the existing information on the different aquifers in Spain, especially the cartographic information and that relating to geometry and hydrogeological functioning, and the groundwater bodies defined in each of the basins of the national territory. With this grouping, the 436 existing lithostratigraphic formations are reduced to 182 hydrogeological formations. Once the hydrogeological grouping was achieved, each of the original lithostratigraphic formations was assigned a hydrogeological code similar to that used in the "International Hydrogeological Map of Europe 1:1,500,000". This code was established, in a simplified form, according to permeability and lithology and was represented with a certain colour and tone to allow the areas associated with the different underground aquifers to be visualised on the Hydrogeological Map. Preparation of the hydrogeological map: Each lithostratigraphic unit was assigned the corresponding hydrogeological code as specified in the previous legend. In this way, when represented on the 1:200,000 map, both the impermeable formations and the detritic or carbonate formations can be seen, which allows the hydrogeological domains to be distinguished.

Description

Creation of the lithostratigraphic map: 1.- Zoning of the territory according to fundamentally geological and hydrogeological criteria. 2. Zonal legend 4.- Zonal mapping 5.- Conformation of zones (cases) 6.- Lithostratigraphic legend 7.- Lithostratigraphic Map

Description

Realisation of the Permeability Map: 1.- Legend of permeabilities, 2.

To complete and facilitate consultation and understanding of the hydrogeological and permeability map, the following elements of hydrogeological interest were represented on them: groundwater bodies and surface water bodies (significant drainage network, lakes and reservoirs). All of them sent to Brussels in March 2007 for article 5 of the Water Framework Directive. River Basin Districts (land area only). Sent to Brussels in March 2007 for Article 3 of the Water Framework Directive. Hydrographic demarcation boundary between Júcar and Guadiana approved according to OM BOE 30 December 2008. Groundwater monitoring stations of the Ministry of the Environment, differentiating them according to their nature (spring, well, borehole or other) and their belonging to the following networks: Monitoring of quantitative status, Monitoring of chemical status. Operational network, Monitoring of chemical status. Surveillance network, EIONET-WATER International Monitoring Network and Monitoring of areas designated for the control of water intended for human consumption.

Description

Computer processing: Integration of all the information in a Geographic Information System, establishing criteria on the characteristics of the data and its scope.
