HCOV_1300, top of the Soccle

Flanders is made up of a variety of aquifers (sand, gravel, chalk, solid rock,...) and regionally occurring non-aquifers (e.g. clay). The sequence of these aquifers and aquitards has its own coding in Flanders: the Hydrogeological Coding of the Underground of Flanders (HCOV coding). The HCOV coding is made up of hydrogeological main, sub- and basic units. The main unit groups a sequence of geological layers that have the same hydrogeological properties and thus form one whole. HCOV_1300 (Soccle) includes the geological formations of the Primary that form the pedestal. More specifically the layers of the Carboon, Devonian and Cambro-Silure. The dataset “HCOV_1300, top of the Soccle” shows in a grid per grid cell the altitude value (in m TAW) of the upper limit of this hydrogeological layer.
