British Geological Survey (BGS): GeoScour Open Data (3rd Party Data)
The British Geological Survey (BGS) is a UK provider of geoscientific data, information and knowledge. Natural Resources Wales has downloaded this open data for the Wales extent to use internally in our mapping system. The BGS GeoScour Open dataset provide a generalised overview of the natural characteristics and properties of catchment and riverine environments for the assessment of river scour in Great Britain. The dataset comprises two different tiers of geographical information system data containing seven different data layers. Each tier represents a different scale of assessment, from a high-level catchment to subcatchment data. The datasets are polygon (area) layers, which are described using straightforward classifications and enabling an indicative catchment susceptibility assessment.

Tier 1 — catchment level data consists of one dataset: catchment stability (1:625 000 scale), which identifies and describes the relative catchment-scale characteristics in terms of landscape evolution, sediment availability and typical response in flood conditions. Tier 2 — subcatchment level consists of a suite of six subcatchment datasets (1:250 000 scale) including: catchment geological runoff potential catchment morphology catchment designated sites catchment flood accommodation catchment urban coverage catchment geological susceptibility layers including: (new in V2) Catchment Average Surface Susceptibility Catchment Best Surface Susceptibility Catchment Worst Surface Susceptibility
