England and Wales data depicts the flow of crushed rock aggregate between regions, derived from the 2005 Aggregate Minerals Survey. The British Geological Survey compiled this dataset to monitor and develop policies for aggregates supply.
Use Cases
- Analyze inter-regional flows of crushed rock to model supply chain dependencies between regions.
- Monitor regional consumption patterns of primary aggregates for infrastructure planning.
- Develop transportation policy models based on the flow of crushed rock aggregate.
Strengths
- Data originates from a national survey conducted by the British Geological Survey for government departments.
- Provides a detailed understanding of regional and national sales, flows, transportation, consumption, and permitted reserves.
- The data originator holds similar survey-derived data for sand and gravel and from 1997 and 2001.
Limitations
- Data is based on a 2005 survey and may not reflect current market conditions.
- Specific metrics like row count, column features, and file formats are unknown.
- Geographic scope is limited to England and Wales.
