Project Groundwater Northumbria (FCRIP) - phase 1 geological cross-sections

The British Geological Survey (BGS) has interpreted nine cross-sections to underpin the Conceptual Hydrogeological Model for the Project Groundwater Northumbria. This ‘Task 1’ work has been delivered to the Environment Agency (EA) for Project Groundwater Northumbria, the Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme (FCRIP) project led by Gateshead Council. This report is intended as brief accompanying text and describes the data used, the geological units included, and the constraints and limitations of the interpretations. The outputs are summarised. The cross-section interpretations are planned to be followed by more detailed 3D geological modelling work in future tasks. This report and the outputs described in section 5 are provided by BGS to EA under the terms of a non-commercial Government licence. The cross-section interpretation is BGS©UKRI 2023, incorporating BGS and Coal Authority data. Reproduced with the permission of © The Coal Authority. All rights reserved.
