Creating a Digital Representation of the Water Table in a Sandstone Aquifer

Groundwater is an important resource in England and Wales and provides on average 33% of the total public drinking water supply1. This figure rises to around 80% in the southeast of England, where large areas of chalk and limestone aquifer outcrop in regions under intensive cultivation. Consequently, protection of the resource from diffuse agricultural pollution is a primary concern in groundwater management2-4.
