The SIU does not map land classes here: the town plan is the source.
Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.
Is there water?
No well or borehole is recorded in Foncea. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 5 springs are recorded.
Ground: 83% practically impermeable; 15% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
