Purpose

The Permeability Map allows the representation of the hydrogeological information at a scale of 1:200,000 for most of the groundwater bodies defined. In the case of small bodies of groundwater, although this scale of representation may present disadvantages in terms of definition, it does allow a certain amount of detail to show their hydrogeological functioning and to be able to programme detailed studies when necessary.

The continuous lithostratigraphic and permeability map of Spain, at a scale of 1:200,000, is produced by means of a "Collaboration Agreement between the Ministry of the Environment (General Secretariat for Territory and Biodiversity. Directorate General for Water) and the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain for the performance of technical work in relation to the application of the Water Framework Directive on groundwater" signed in 2004, and is the basis for the preparation of the Hydrogeological Map of Spain at a scale of 1:200,000 continuous and in digital format.

Supplemental Information

The document "Preparation of the hydrogeological map of Spain at a scale of 1:200,000, continuous and in digital format" (2009) can be consulted in the Documentation Service, where the process of preparation and description of the information prepared is described in detail.

There is an application for distribution on DVD, published in 2007, which contains the geological and cartographic information, tables, symbology libraries and map compositions. It has a consultation application and a map viewer.

The Permeability Map of Spain at a scale of 1:200,000 can be viewed and consulted in the Groundwater Information System (SIAS) of the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME-CSIC).

Units of distribution

Unidades cartográficas (LPLIT): Recintos poligonales litológicos con las unidades cartográficas codificadas según el campo FH. Cada recinto o polígonos tiene un códigos numérico correspondiente a la formación geológica según la columna litoestratigráfica (FH). La descripción litológica completa, la descripción geocronológica y la clasificación de permeabilidad se almacenan en una tabla externa (Tabla litperm.dat) que tiene un registro por cada formación litoestratigráfica en el mapa. Para favorecer la utilización y correcta simbolización de la información generada, se crea otra tabla externa (Perme.dat) que relaciona cada una de las formaciones (FH), con el color que se le debe asignar al realizar la composición de la leyenda y mapa de permeabilidades.

Statement

The permeability map has been made on the basis of the information generated for the lithostratigraphic map of Spain at a scale of 1:200,000 continuous. From here, different processes are differentiated:

1.- Elaboration of a permeability legend that assigns a degree of permeability to each lithostratigraphic unit.

2.- Elaboration of the permeability map, in which the mapped lithostratigraphic levels with similar permeability values were grouped together.

Description

Preparation of the legend of the permeability map:

Assignment of a degree of permeability for each lithostratigraphic unit mapped. According to the regulations for this mapping, five types of permeability were established: Very high, High, Medium, Low and Very low.

With these criteria, the legend of the Permeability Map was established as a double-entry graph showing on the abscissa axis the permeability ranges established and on the ordinate axis the lithologies associated with these permeability ranges. The different lithologies were associated in large groups giving rise to a classification by types of aquifers established according to the formation processes of each permeability. Finally, each type of aquifer was related to the usefulness of the water it contains. Each group established in this classification was represented with a specific colour and tone for its visualisation on the Permeability Map. Thus, carbonate rocks are represented in green, Quaternary detrital rocks are represented in grey, detrital lithologies are represented in blue, volcanic rocks in purple, meta-detritic rocks in red, igneous rocks in violet tones and evaporitic rocks in brown. All these groups reserve the lighter shades for the less permeable lithologies.

Description

Preparation of the permeability map:

With the representation criteria indicated above in the legend and taking into account that each lithostratigraphic unit was assigned a degree of permeability, the Map of Permeabilities was made in which the mapped lithostratigraphic levels presenting similar permeability values were grouped together.

This map clearly shows the hydrogeological domains with a predominance of calcareous and evaporitic, detritic and crystalline aquifers, highlighting the main peninsular and insular structural lines that bring the different groundwater bodies defined into contact with each other.

Description

Computer processing:

Integration of all the information in a Geographic Information System, establishing criteria on the characteristics of the data and its scope.
