HÜK200 – Useable field capacity of the HÜK 200 – OGC API Features

As part of the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, the first and more detailed description of the groundwater bodies of Rhineland-Palatinate is an inventory of the subsurface of the river basins in Rhineland-Palatinate with the aim of recording those groundwater bodies for which there is a risk of not achieving the environmental objectives set out in Article 4 of the EU WFD. The basis of the description is the hydrogeological overview map of Germany (HÜK 200). It was established in 2001 by the German Federal Geological Services (SGD) and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Raw Materials (BGR) on a scale of 1: 200000 worked out in the leaf cuts of the TK 200. The contents correspond to the HÜK 200 of the BGR.

It is expressed in mm (l/m²) and can refer to various reference variables (effective root space, 1 meter, etc.). Together with the meteorological parameters, it controls the amount of leaching water and is therefore an important calculation parameter for determining the new formation of groundwater.
