You can use BROloket to access and download online subsurface data and models falling under the Dutch Key Registry of the Subsurface Act. Administrative bodies have the statutory task of both supplying this data and using it themselves when working in the subsurface. We make the data and models available on behalf of the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning. The Key Register of the Subsurface (Basisregistratie Ondergrond, BRO) is to become the central database containing all public data on the Dutch subsoil. The BRO Act, which came into effect on 1 January 2018, requires that source data owners provide and use soil and underground data in a digital form. The requirements will be expanded step by step, by which more and more data of multiple subsurface domains will be recorded and made publicly accessible as part of our open data policy. onGoing TNO - Geological Survey of the Netherlands TNO - Geological Survey of the Netherlands Princetonlaan 6 Utrecht 3584 CB Netherlands support@geologischedienst.nl https://www.geologischedienst.nl custodian continual Geology Energy resources GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication National Spatial scope 2019-05-22 publication mineral resource information system hydrogeology aquifer modelling (thematic) EGDI Keyword Thesaurus 2026-03-25 publication Onshore, InventoryGeoenergy, BROloket otherRestrictions no conditions apply otherRestrictions no limitations to public access vector grid dut geoscientificInformation 3.36 7.22 50.75 53.47 2018-01-01 0 300 Atom https://www.broloket.nl/ WWW:LINK BROloket Web page showing data and models for the shallow subsurface of the Netherlands (in Dutch) information https://basisregistratieondergrond.nl/ WWW:LINK Basisregistratie Ondergrond Web page of the Ministry of Interior about the BRO program (in Dutch). information https://basisregistratieondergrond.nl/english/about-key-registry/ WWW:LINK Key Registry Web page of the Ministry of Interior about the BRO program (in English). information https://basisregistratieondergrond.nl/werken-bro/producten-diensten/soap-api/ WWW:LINK BRO - SOAP API Information about access to BRO data via SOAP API (in Dutch) information https://basisregistratieondergrond.nl/werken-bro/producten-diensten/rest-api/ WWW:LINK BRO - REST API Information about access to BRO data via REST API (in Dutch) information https://basisregistratieondergrond.nl/werken-bro/producten-diensten/pdok/ WWW:LINK BRO - PDOK Information about access to BRO data via PDOK (in Dutch) information https://3d-bro-webservices-esrinl-content.hub.arcgis.com/ WWW:LINK BRO 3D Webservices Information about access to BRO data via ArcGIS Webservices (in Dutch) information COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 See referenced specification On 1 January 2018, the National Key Registry of the Subsurface came into effect. This imposed the statutory obligation upon all municipalities, provinces, water boards and government agencies to submit the first three registration objects to the National Facility via the portal for Source Data Owners. This relates to objects with added value for the implementation of works in the physical living environment, for example the construction and maintenance of roads, houses and flood protection elements.
