	In Cumbria and Northumberland, 16 sites have been sampled for methane in a number of different aquifers. The two main aquifers are Permo-Triassic sandstone and the Fell Sandstone and Border Group.

	* Permo-Triassic sandstone is the second most important aquifer in the UK. It has a high porosity, meaning groundwater flows through pore spaces in the rock. The majority of the Carlisle Basin is Triassic sandstone; this can be up to 600 m thick and is made up of sandstone, conglomerates and marls. The southern part of the Carlisle Basin is Permian sandstone consisting of sandstone, marls and breccias.		* Permo-Triassic sandstone is the second most important aquifer in the UK.

The data are summarised for the Cumbria and Northumberland region as a whole and also for individual aquifers, where enough data are available.
