The service is related to groundwater in Norway. Groundwater is a hidden geological resource that occurs underground in soils and rock. Only under certain circumstances, groundwater observed on the surface in the form of natural springs or marsh. Otherwise knowledge of groundwater is restricted to observations under ground (eg . in caves, mines, tunnels etc.) or from wells. The main groundwater resources in Norway are found in sediments. Systematic collection of information from groundwater wells in Norway began in 1951 when NGU established the Water Drilling Archive. Increased demand for groundwater led to increased activity in drilling and resource mapping in the period after about 1965. Regulations relating to the duty for drilling and groundwater investigations came into force on 1 January 1997 and covers the reporting obligation NGU. The national groundwater database GRANADA was opened as a mapping service in May 2004.

The map service shows submarine landscapes of the ocean areas defined as larger geographical areas with homogenous apparance. The classification is based on 50 m grid bathymetry. The main aim of the service is to visualise submarine landscapes of the Norwegian offshore in a simple and user friendly way so that data can be used by the management, industy and research institutions. Submarine landscapes is one of the key maps from the MAREANO-programme.

The service Marine limit / (MarinGrenseWMS2) consist of individual layers indicating marine limit and possibility of marine clay. Marine limit (ML) indicates the highest level reached by sea after last glaciation. This will depend on where you are in Norway and varies between 0 and 220 m. ML therefore indicates the highest levels of marine sediments (marine and fjord deposits) that are raised to dry land. Possibility of marine clay (MML) is based on Quaternary (superficial deposit) maps in different scales and data set for marine limit. Superficial deposit surface types below marine limit are classified according to the possibility of finding marine clay and can be roughly divided into six classes. The map service/layer 'Possibility of marine clay' ('Mulighet for marin leire') has been created as a guide to reading a Quaternary geological map. It is important to point out that the map service does not display new information in relation to the Quaternary map.

The map service shows the distribution of marine Biotopes, Shell sand deposits and Terminal moraines. The biotope maps are made in cooperation by NGU and IMR in frame of the MAREANO programme based on numerous physical, geological and biological parameters. Biotope maps along the coast are products of other projects. Maps of shell sand deposits along the coast are based on mapping (resource maps), and mapping/modelleling (shell sand as a nature type on the seabed). Maps of shell sand as a nature type are made in cooperation between NGU and NIVA in frame of the National Programme for Mapping of Marine Biological Diversity, led by the Norwegian Environment Agency and the Directorate of Fisheries. Also terminal moraines on the seabed, which are considered to constitute a special bottom type for fauna and flora, are mapped in the frame of this programme.

The data is organized into study areas, giving overview information. A study area contains one or more measurement points, which in turn is (1) a borehole or (2) miniloggers measuring near-surface temperature outside boreholes. Temperature data in boreholes may be temperature series with time (monitoring) or temperature with depth (logs). Near-surface temperature data is temperature series with time only. The database may also hold photographs of study areas (overview) or measurement points (detail).

The map service provides a complete overview of probable occurrences of coral mounds in the areas mapped on the Norwegian continental shelf. It is a useful tool for assessing the need for more detailed mapping or measures in an area. The service is based on four data sets that are the result of automatic classification of high-resolution bathymetry data. Scale 1: 7,000,000 - 1: 5,000.

This map service shows nationally susceptibility map for radon. The service provides an initial assessment of susceptibility for radon, and can be used as an aid for municipalities to assess the need for new measurements in homes and in planning processes. Resolution of the data is lower than scale 1 : 50,000. The map shows the probability that it can be or will be a radon problem, and therefore interesting information for managing follow-up surveys and the development of guidelines for new housing construction.
