Soil Stability Map for South Holland Based on Clay and Peat Composition

A geospatial dataset estimating soil stability for the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. The map is derived from the proportion of clay and peat in the top eight meters of soil. It is published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a Creative Commons Public Domain Mark license.

Use Cases

• Identify areas with weak soil for construction risk assessment based on the soil stability classification.
• Model potential ground movement for infrastructure planning based on the clay and peat composition data.
• Create regional environmental hazard maps based on the estimated soil stability index.

Strengths

• Based on a specific soil composition measurement (clay and peat proportion in the top 8 meters).
• Provides a focused geographic estimate for the province of South Holland.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
