description: A web mapping service developed by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in collaboration with the Environment Agency (EA), indicating whether suitable ground and hydrogeological conditions exist for Open-loop Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) at a given location in England and Wales. Built within a GIS, the tool screens the potential viability of open-loop systems based on underlying geology and aquifer characteristics. Data are served as OGC-compliant web map and web feature services conforming to the INSPIRE specification, allowing integration into other GIS applications. It supports preliminary feasibility assessment for ground source heat pump installations before detailed site investigation.”
