Groundwater supply in small reservoirs
This dataset from SGU (Geological Survey of Sweden) provides a nationwide modelled estimate of groundwater availability for water supply, focusing on small groundwater reservoirs. The calculation relies on generalized base data and several assumptions, and therefore carries notable uncertainty. Results are expressed in litres per day per hectare (l/day/ha) on a 100x100 metre grid. SGU considers the data useful for broad risk assessment and planning of water abstraction from small reservoirs, but not precise enough to evaluate water availability or scarcity risk for individual properties. The dataset covers all of Sweden and is published as open data with no authentication required.The data set Groundwater supply in small reservoirs shows a calculation of groundwater supply for water supply in Sweden with a focus on small groundwater reservoirs. The calculation is based on a number of assumptions and a relatively general base material and is associated with uncertainties. SGU considers that the presented calculated groundwater availability may be relevant and useful for comprehensive risk assessment and planning of water abstraction from small groundwater reservoirs. However, SGU considers that the results are generally not sufficiently precise and detailed to assess water availability and the risk of water scarcity for individual properties. Groundwater availability in small reservoirs includes a nationwide calculation and the result is presented in the unit l/day/ha (litres per day per hectare) in a break with cell size of 100x100 m.
