| dc.description.abstract | Complex geological features are predominant in some low lying sedimentary terrain, which is the direct result of surface processes such as weathering, transportation, sedimentation transgression, regression etc. This complex sub surface geology is mostly seen in Dutch flood plains (polders) which belong to Quaternary Period of geological time scale. A research study on suitability of land for development in Sliedrecht, The Netherlands, having complex subterranean geology belonging to quaternary period was carried out by the author (Wclideniya H.S. 1996). This type of land was not much preferred for construction due to its complex subterranean geology, which is characteristic with low bearing capacity. The study was aimed at developing a methodology combining engineering geology and GIS to support urban planners in decision making | en_US |
