Hydraulic conductivity in mountains
Dataset providing calculated hydraulic conductivity (K) of bedrock near rock-drilled wells recorded in the Well Archive, together with a nationwide interpolation presented as a 100x100 m grid in units of m/s. Published by SGU, the Geological Survey of Sweden, it draws on a subset of wells deemed suitable for this purpose. Results carry uncertainty, which increases in areas with fewer wells, due to both input data limitations and modeling assumptions. The dataset is intended primarily for hydrogeology specialists as a basis for investigations involving bedrock groundwater, such as individual water supply, tunnels, quarries and mines, though additional site-specific investigation may be required.}| 2}|]}| 2}|]}| 2}The data set ‘Hydraulic conductivity in rock’ includes the calculated hydraulic conductivity (K) of the rock closest to rock-drilled wells from the Well Archive and an interpolation of these values. In addition to uncertainty in the input data, a number of assumptions are included in the calculations, which entails some uncertainty in the final result. Uncertainty in calculated hydraulic conductivity can be significant for an individual well. This means that the uncertainty of interpolated hydraulic conductivity in areas with few wells is great. The product is primarily aimed at specialists in hydrogeology. It can be used as a basis for hydrogeological investigations where groundwater in rock is an important factor to consider, such as individual water supply, tunnels, quarries and mines. Due to the uncertainties and limitations in the documentation, as well as the purpose and requirements of the investigation, additional investigations may be required. But even in these cases, the dataset can be valuable in initial investigations. The interpolation includes a nationwide calculation and the result is presented in the unit m/s (meters per second) in a grid with cell size of 100x100 m. Estimated hydraulic conductivity in rock includes the subset of rock-drilled wells in the Well Archive that SGU deems it reasonable to use for this purpose.
