HOST: The Hydrology of Soil Types
This dataset is based on the 1 x 1 km National Soil map data together with data from the CEH Wallingford ( Institute of Hydrology ) on the behaviour of river catchments. There are 29 HOST classes, which describe the dominant pathways of water movement through the soil and substrate.
HOST is NOT scale specific.
| Primary attributes: | HOST class |
| Other Attributes: | base flow index, standard percentage run-off |
| Format: | 1 x 1 km raster data in ARC GIS format. |
| Cost: | £20.00 per 100 km2 (discount for larger areas). |
Alternatively, a key to HOST classes is available for current leases of 1:250 000 scale and 1 x 1 km soils datasets at +20% of the map data lease charge.
