What this layer shows

Groundwater protection zones Sh: zones of high vulnerability for wells in karst and fractured-rock aquifers, where water travels fast along paths that are hard to predict and the S1 to S3 sequence does not reflect how it flows. The restrictions that apply are set by Annex 4 GSchV and the cantonal protection zone regulations. The layer shows zones in force only. Included: the cantons of AG, AI, AR, BE, BL, BS, FR, GE, GL, GR, JU, LU, SH, SO, SZ, TG, TI, UR, VS, ZG and ZH; cantons whose terms of use do not allow use in this app, or that do not publish the data openly, are not included. For the canton of Graubünden's data: “No warranty is given as to the correctness, accuracy, currency or completeness of the published information.”
