	The Corallian Limestone forms a Principal aquifer and is used for both public and private supply in the outcropping areas on the margins of the vale. In the central part, groundwater from the Corallian Limestone is not used due to its depth and increased salinity. Geological modelling shows the prevalence of faulting, mostly with an east–west orientation, in the central part of the vale (Figure 2).
