Hydrogeological Map 1:500,000 - Quaternary groundwater levels

Distribution of the groundwater levels of the Quaternary as a specialist layer of the hydrogeological map 1:500,000. It is recommended to display it together with the separate specialist layer relevant aquifer. Zoom limitation min. 1:1,000,000 to max. 1:200,000. Groundwater levels are lines of the same height of a groundwater surface or groundwater pressure area. The basis for the creation of the groundwater balance is the knowledge of groundwater levels in boreholes, wells, groundwater measuring points and springs as well as in surface waters, which are interpolated to lines of the same height, taking into account hydrogeological and hydraulic conditions. In addition, existing groundwater balance plans were taken into account when creating them (see explanations for the hydrogeological map of Bavaria 1:500,000, Fig. 6-2 and Tab. 6-1). Inaccuracies in the construction of the groundwater levels result in particular from the uneven distribution of the exploration points. Geometries and legend units are designed for a viewing scale of 1:500 000 (1 cm on a map corresponds to 5 km in nature) and i. i.e. R. strongly generalized. The HK 500 is intended as a basis for larger-scale considerations, it in no way replaces detailed investigations and assessments by a specialist office when planning local projects.
