Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Waterlogging
type: DataService
description: If external water (runoff from slopes and groundwater) is present in the soil as well as precipitation, this is described as external waterlogging. (Details: Soil suitability map of Switzerland, March 1980).
description: This API provides access to the digital soil suitability map of Switzerland concerning waterlogging, published by the Swiss Confederation (Federal Office for Agriculture, BLW). It identifies areas affected by external waterlogging, defined as the combined presence of external water — such as runoff from slopes and groundwater — together with precipitation in the soil. The dataset derives from the Soil Suitability Map of Switzerland dated March 1980 and covers the national territory, offering a basis for assessing soil-water conditions relevant to agricultural and land-use planning.
