Notes

This represents the salinity of the shallowest aquifer only.

There may well be water of significantly different salinity at greater depth.

This dataset was produced as a research and development product, it should not be relied upon to assist decision making.

The data are the property of Department For Water (DFW). Caution should be taken when using the data. In some areas source data is sparse. The data should be used only for regional assessment at scales greater than 1:250 000.
