When #groundwater wasn't filling the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, scientists pulled up #soildata and uncovered the answer, the water had fallen on dry soils, and the water was absorbed instead of running off into the reservoir.

Great session at #Groundswell2025 hosted by @opengeohub.bsky.social covering data, AI, and open access.
AgFunder's Louisa Burwood-Taylor: “We should not be paying to access data, because most data was created with tax payer money”. We agree completely.

AI4Peat's outputs will be published as part of Natural England's England Peat Map, due to launch in spring 2025. This will be the most up-to-date, complete and useable map of England's peat available. As well as the peatland drainage and erosion features documented by AI4Peat, the wider map will also show the extent, depth, and vegetation coverage of peat and peaty soils across England. Image: Samples from England Peat Map's interim outputs, showing extent, depth, and vegetation coverage, alongside surface feature mapping by the AI4peat project.

I gather from other references that the England Peat Map will be available under the Open Government Licence.

Data from the 1940s is being used to classify and protect England’s most valuable and productive farmland, potentially undermining the UK’s ability to grow its own food, reveals a new report commissioned by CPRE, the countryside charity. The ALC system determines the potential productivity of farmland using data including rainfall measured between 1941 and 1970 and temperatures measured between 1961 and 1980. The new report demonstrates that continuing to rely on the current ALC system is leading to a substantial overestimation of the productivity of land, with much less of it likely to be considered Best and Most Versatile (BMV) land for food production.

Understanding land's capability For food production to be properly valued in land use decisions, we need to know where the land with the greatest potential for food production is. The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) system provides a valuable tool for assessing the suitability of land for agricultural use, particularly in development planning decisions. However, the ALC maps are outdated, not at a scale suitable for the assessment of individual fields or sites and not suited to changing land suitability as a result of climate change. To ensure that the ALC system supports effective land use planning decisions, Government is considering: ● Updating the ALC system, including the underlying data and methodologies, to ensure that land quality data is accurate and comprehensive. ● Enhancing the availability and accessibility of ALC data, including through improved mapping and databases. ● Improving guidance on ALC surveys and the use of ALC grades in local planning policies. QUESTION 19: What improvements are needed to the quality, availability and accessibility of ALC data to support effective land use decisions?
Government is considering updating the Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) system – existing maps are very outdated.

These spatial datasets consider the lands contribution to preventing and mitigating climate change at a local scale (e.g. 1:50 000). Data is presented as a series of raster datasets for use in GIS Systems at a resolution of 25m2. These maps will assist users to find out where the most important carbon components in their areas are. There are five data layers that look at aspects of Carbon in nature mapped spatially. Including above and below ground carbon storage, total carbon storage, carbon sequestration, and Carbon Abatement opportunities. They are not suitable for field scale carbon mitigation as this would require field scale carbon assessment.
