This website contains images visualising some of the complex processes underpinning
the water environment and its management under the Water Framework Directive (WFD).
At the moment the website principally focuses on different concepts relating to groundwater and its management. The website hosts over 1000 images; covering many topographic and land use settings and depicts concepts such as pathway characteristics (e.g. aquifer type, vulnerability), pressures on groundwater and receptor type (e.g. river, wetland, borehole). The user is able to apply different scenarios in order to select a package of images relevant to their own individual requirements.
Currently you can only search the Rural Lowland Scenario,
but we hope to have the others available soon.
We will put a notice up on the website when all Scenarios are enabled.
Any feedback you can offer on how useful you’ve found the website and / or the images
would be appreciated - contact gina@sniffer.org.uk.
More information about conditions of use of the images is available here.
