Description
A 2010/2011 map layer from the Dutch Ministry of the Interior shows soil and phreatic groundwater quality as a percentage of standard exceedance for seven parameters. The dataset, published under a CC-PDM-1.0 license, originates from the eu_open_data platform and is provided as ZIP and PNG files. Its specific focus on nitrate, phosphate, zinc, nickel, cadmium, aluminum, and pH levels offers a snapshot of environmental conditions for that period.
Use Cases
Identify areas of potential environmental concern based on the percentage of standard exceedance for heavy metals.
Analyze spatial patterns of agricultural runoff indicators based on nitrate and phosphate levels.
Assess soil acidity and metal contamination for land-use planning based on pH, aluminum, cadmium, nickel, and zinc data.
Establish a historical baseline for soil and groundwater quality monitoring programs based on the 2010/2011 measurements.
Strengths
Focuses on seven specific, ecologically relevant parameters: Nitrate, Phosphate, Zinc, Nickel, Cadmium, Aluminum, and pH.
Provides a defined temporal snapshot for the measuring year 2010/2011.
Published under a permissive public domain license (CC-PDM-1.0).
Limitations
Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
Provenance
Source
Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties (Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations)
Collection Method
Likely contains aggregated measurement data presented as a map layer.
Time Range
2010/2011
Freshness
Data is from 2010/2011; last update date is unknown.
Geography
Likely covers the Netherlands, inferred from the publishing ministry.
The primary data format is a ZIP file containing a PNG image, suggesting the core data is a raster map rather than a tabular dataset.
