Drainage Map for Switzerland, classified in 3 subdivisions

Potentially Drained Land Use Areas in Switzerland

For many land use areas it is still unknown if they are drained. This is due to the age of many drainages and the fact that digitalization of drainages is not completed now. Only some cantons provide data to drainages on their geo-platforms. Using a machine – learning algorithms we modelled the potential of drainages from environmental parameters like slope, soil, (former) wetlands, geo-cover. Ten (AG, BE, BL, BS, FR, GE, NE, SH, SG, ZH) cantons provided geodata on drained land. These data served as training datasets for calibrating the models, and hence for predicting the land for which no information on drainage systems was available. The drainage maps provides a national overview of the possible or probable distribution of drained areas in Switzerland. In individual cases, however, detailed clarifications must be in the field with the farmer and/or the municipality or canton.
