Clyde Gateway Pilot 3D Geological and Groundwater Model

Abstract

This report describes the Clyde Gateway Pilot 3D geological model (superficial deposits, bedrock) and groundwater model (recharge and groundwater flow) which covers 1:10,000 scale Ordnance Survey sheets NS66SW, NS66NW and NS56SE. The groundwater model considers a broader area in general, and also, for practical purposes, a detailed consideration of NS56NE, based on available hydrogeological data. Therefore, the models, and report, address not only the Clyde Gateway area itself, but a larger area which includes for example the alignments of the M74 Extension and East End Regeneration Route. The report provides background information to the model user including brief geological descriptions, model construction methods, uncertainty factors, limitations and a helpful 3D model user manual
