Low flow estimation in Scotland

[摘要] This study was commissioned by the Department of the Environment to develop and apply techniques of applied geological mapping for the purposes of land-use planning and development. It covers the area of the British Geological Survey (BGS) 1:50,000 geological map of Southampton. The study involved the computer manipulation of existing geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and mineral resource data. The objectives were to develop the methodology, and to provide an archive of information, a set of applied geological maps, and descriptive reports in a form appropriate to all potential users. The computer is a powerful tool for bringing together spatially referenced information from many sources. There was collaboration with the Ordnance Survey and also with the Soil Survey of England and Wales who have been commissioned to undertake a study in the same area.
