The Water Supply of the East Riding of Yorkshire offers a clear look at how geology and rainfall shape where water comes from, and how communities tapped these underground sources.
This volume from the Geological Survey explains the district’s rock layers, from Triassic sands to Chalk, and how glacial deposits and surface waters interact with them. It presents the records of well sinkings and borings, notes on rainfall, and maps that show where aquifers lie and how they are fed. The work is organized by districts and brings together observations, diagrams, and practical details about water-bearing strata and the steps to record new data.
What you’ll experience
- A structured view of the major rock formations and their role in water supply
- Bore logs, well records, and sections across key valleys and hills
- Analyses of waters and rainfall information that illuminate local hydrology
- Illustrations, maps, and reference materials from the Geological Survey
Ideal for readers of technical geology, local history, or water-supply planning, as well as students and researchers seeking a grounded, data-driven look at groundwater in this region.
