The dataset consists of point locations of domestic wells reported to the Maine Geological Survey. This dataset is based on an original survey of well drillers in the 1970s, a voluntary well driller reporting program in the mid-1980s, and the present mandatory reporting program which relies on the submission of well information by drillers. Wells have been located using GPS coordinates submitted by the drillers, e911 address information submitted by the drillers and/or ownership data and tax records. Roughly 40% of the wells reported to MGS have location data so there are many that aren't located.

New York State registered water well drillers are required to submit completion reports documenting where wells have been drilled, the specifications of those wells, and any subsequent work performed on those wells. Data regarding water wells has been collected since April 2000 as required by ECL 15-1525. Completion reports for the wells are added as they become available. Historical wells are added as the wells are mapped. Well locations are generally accurate to the parcel scale but may not represent the exact location on the property.For background information, see Water Well Contractor ProgramFor layer information or to download layer, see Water WellsDownload the metadata to learn more information about how the data was created and details about the attributes.

The Division of Water Ground Water Database has approximately 407,000 water well records, and of those, approximately 147,000 have been field located and have x, y (UTM) coordinates. Approximately 39,000 were located based on address geocoding. The remaining records have no utms and cannot be easily utilized in a GIS format. The purpose of this dataset was to include those wells with UTM coordinates and to approximate the UTM coordinates for the others based on the most precise of county, or Township, Range, Section, quarter sections (TRS) locations available from office locating, which is effectively the centroid of the smallest known section or quarter sections; thus, increasing the amount of data available for display and analysis in a GIS format. This dataset is combination of the located water well records and the water well records for which an estimated location was able to be determined using the methods described below. This leaves less than 15,000 records with no UTM's associated with them. This dataset and associated table has selected fields from the main digital water well database that are typically needed for most research. This file is a digital geospatial point feature class of both located water well records (which include UTM coordinates) and unlocated water well records. The estimated locations used for the unlocated wells were based on the polygon centroid values for the smallest indicated county, section, quarter, quarter-quarter, or quarter-quarter-quarter section (as indicated in the database) for over 221,000 water well records and for about 39,000 water well records the UTM's were obtained from address geocoding using the owners address, a generally more accurate method (see process steps below).

Well inventory (external version). Includes wells from the Drinking Water System (DWS), Water Use, Well Construction, GEMS and SWAMP. In this external version, municipal and other-than-municipal (OTM) are displayed as a section centroid, due to Homeland Security requirements. This table is rebuilt on a weekly basis.

Private wells in this layer come from the Department of Environmental Conservation's Water Supply Data Composite. Managed by the Water Supply Division's Well Driller and Well Location Program, the database contains private well information submitted by Vermont licensed well drillers. Licensed well drillers have been required to submit well completion reports (well logs) to the state since 1966. Well tags have been required since 1986. NOTE: the data contained here is only as accurate as what was submitted - many wells were completed, but not reported, many reports have missing information, were recorded inaccurately or poorly located geographically.

Combined database of all wells with uniform attributes from detailed individual well databases (see General and Entity Attribute sections of metadata for individual shape files). All_wells is intended to serve as a metadata-level well database. Large overlaps are known to exist among databases; however, all are preserved as found in order to preserve program-specific information. For example a well may derive geologic data from the Geologic Sampling Points database, public water supply data from the SDWIS Wells database and Water Allocation information from the Water Use (WACOP) database. Each of these will be represented by a record within All_wells.

A dataset of well information and geospatial data was developed for 426 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) observation wells in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. An extensive list of attributes is included about each well, its location, and water-level history to provide the public and water-resources community with comprehensive information on the USGS well network in New England and data available from these sites. These data may be useful for evaluating groundwater conditions and variability across the region. The well list and site attributes, which were extracted from USGS National Water Information System (NWIS), represent all of the active wells in the New England network up to the end of 2017, and an additional 45 wells that were inactive (discontinued or replaced by a nearby well) at that time. Inactive wells were included in the database because they (1) contain periods of water-level record that may be useful for groundwater assessments, (2) may become active again at some point, or (3) are being monitored by another agency (most discontinued New Hampshire wells are still being monitored and the data are available in the National Groundwater Monitoring Network (https://cida.usgs.gov/ngwmn/index.jsp). The wells in this database have been sites of water-level data collection (periodic levels and/or continuous levels) for an average of 31 years. Water-level records go back to 1913. The groundwater-level statistics included in the dataset represent hydrologic conditions for the period of record for inactive wells, or through the end of water year 2017 (September 30, 2017) for active wells. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data layers were compiled from various sources and dates ranging from 2003 to 2018. These GIS data were used to calculate attributes related to topographic setting, climate, land cover, soil, and geology giving hydrologic and environmental context to each well. In total, the data include 90 attributes for each well. In addition to site number and station name, attributes were developed for site information (15 attributes); groundwater-level statistics through water year 2017 (16 attributes); well-construction information (9 attributes); topographic setting (11 attributes); climate (2 attributes); land use and cover (17 attributes); soils (4 attributes); and geology (14 attributes). Basic well and site information includes well location, period of record, well-construction details, continuous versus intermittent data collection, and ground altitudes. Attributes that may influence groundwater levels include: well depth, location of open or screened interval, aquifer type, surficial and bedrock geology, topographic position, flow distance to surface water, land use and cover near the well, soil texture and drainage, precipitation, and air temperature.

The Division of Water Rights and Utah Geological Survey (UGS) began a cooperative program to analyze water well cuttings and prepare a geologic log for selected wells in 1995. Samples are taken at regular drilling intervals by water well drillers. The samples are analyzed by UGS and a geologic log and sample analysis log is created.

The Well Log Tracking System (WELTS) contains water well construction and lithologic information submitted to the Division of Mining, Land and Water, Alaska Hydrologic Survey by water well contractors as required per Alaska State Statute 41.08.020(b4) authority delegated to the Alaska Hydrologic Survey per Department Order 115, require of water well contractors, the filing with it of basic water and aquifer data normally obtained, including but not limited to well location, estimated elevation, well driller's logs, pumping tests and flow measurements, and water quality determinations. Additionally, per Alaska Administrative Code, Title 11 Natural Resources, Part 6 Lands, Chapter 93 Water Management, Article 2 Appropriation and Use of Water 11 AAC 93.140(a):

For a drilled, driven, jetted, or augered well constructed, the water well contractor or a person who constructs the well shall file a report within 45 days after completion with both the property owner and the department. The report must contain the following information as applicable: (1) the method of construction; (2) the type of fluids used for drilling; (3) the location of the well; (4) an accurate log of the soil and rock formations encountered and the depths at which the formations occur; (5) the depth of the casing; (6) the height of the casing above ground; (7) the depth and type of grouting; (8) the depth of any screens; (9) the casing diameter; (10) the casing material; (11) the depth of perforation or opening in the casing; (12) the well development method; (13) the total depth of the well; (14) the depth of the static water level; (15) the anticipated use of the well; (16) the maximum well yield; (17) the results of any well yield, aquifer, or drawdown test that was conducted; (18) if the water well contractor or person who constructs the well installs a pump at the time of construction, the depth of the pump intake and the rated pump capacity at that depth. (b) When the drill rig is removed from the well site, the well must be sealed with a sanitary seal and a readily accessible means provided to allow for monitoring of the static water level in the well. (c) A hand-dug well that is permanently decommissioned shall be filled by the land owner to a point 12 in above the existing ground level with well-compacted impermeable material. (d) A well, other than a hand-dug well, that is permanently decommissioned by the owner of the well must comply with the requirements of 18 AAC 80.015(e) . (e) If the department believes that an encounter of oil, gas, or other hazardous substance is likely to result from well drilling, the department will notify the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and the provisions of AS 31.05.030 (g) may apply. (f) The department will notify the Department of Environmental Conservation of any permanently abandoned well that may contaminate water of the state under the provisions of 18 AAC 80. (g) Information required by (a) of this section is required for any water well that has been deepened, modified, or abandoned, and for any water supply well or water well that is used for monitoring, observation, or aquifer testing, including a dry or low-yield water well that is not used. This data characterizes the geographic representation of well logs within the State of Alaska contained in the Well Log Tracking System. The shape file was developed using well location information submitted with well logs. Well locations represented by a gold star symbol, represent the approximate (centroid) location, and may represent a cluster of wells. Well locations represented by a blue circle symbol, represent wells submitted with latitude and longitude coordinates. Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Well Log Tracking System identification number which serves as an index to case-file information. Those requiring more information regarding WELTS should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Alaska Hydrologic Survey directly.

The Water Well Inventory dataset contains georeferenced locations of water wells reported in the New Hampshire Geological Survey (NHGS) Water Well Inventory database, managed by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). This point feature layer represents a vital archive of well construction details, hydrogeologic data, and installation history for water wells drilled across the state.Since 1984, New Hampshire law has required licensed water well contractors to submit well completion reports for every well drilled. These reports are compiled and maintained in the NHGS database and serve as a critical resource for hydrogeologic studies, groundwater availability assessments, water supply planning, and public safety.Each record includes general location data, construction specifications, and select hydrologic parameters, such as well depth, casing depth, static water level, and yield. While not every well in the state may be represented due to historical or locational data gaps, the dataset is one of the most comprehensive sources of water well information available in New Hampshire.The data is updated periodically to reflect newly submitted reports or corrections and is used to support a wide range of state and local water management efforts, including:Groundwater resource evaluationDrinking water protection planningLand development reviewDrought resilience and water supply trackingHydrogeologic modelingKey Attributes Include:Location & Ownership:WELL_, WRB_, FNAME, NAME, ROAD, TOWN, MAP, PARCEL, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, LOCENT, LOCACCWell Construction & Use:DCOMP (Date Completed), USE_ (Intended Use), REASON (Installation Purpose), TYPE (Well Type), TOTD (Total Depth), BDKD (Bedrock Depth), CASING (Casing Depth)Hydrogeologic Parameters:YTM, YTD, YTQ (Yield Data: Monthly, Daily, Quarterly), SWL (Static Water Level), DMEAS (Depth Measured), WQ (Water Quality Flag), OB (Observation Well)Access & Tracking:ONESTOP_LINK, OBJECTID

This Water Well layer was created in March 2010 to provide an easily accessiable spatial database of water wells only. It also provides additional attribute information on Status, Depth, etc.

The original water well & pollution source layer was developed in 1988 by the County’s Environmental Health Department. Records were entered into a database from 40 years of historical paper files, which exhibited a wide range of completeness and accuracy. This was an on-going process until early 1996 at which time the layer was no longer maintained. In late 2000, the Department of Building and Development began a process of updating the layer by entering data from the permit files, which had accumulated since 1996.

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas at Austin. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (saan_environmental_geology_metadata.txt or saan_environmental_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm). Purpose:

Salt Wells-ESRI Geodatabase (ArcGeology v1.3): - Contains all the geologic map data, including faults, contacts, folds, dikes, unit polygons, and attitudes of strata and faults. - List of stratigraphic units and stratigraphic correlation diagram. - Locations of 40Ar/39Ar samples.

This feature class is updated every business day using Python scripts and the Well Log database. Please disregard the "Date Updated" field as it does not keep in sync with DWR's internal enterprise geodatabase updates. This feature class contains the location and site attributes of drilled wells in Nevada. Licensed well drillers submit well logs (reports) to NDWR. This information is entered into the Well Log database in SQL Server. Latitude and Longitude coordinates are displayed in GIS format for convenience in identifying wells. Two additional fields are calculated for specific capacity and transmissivity. Specific capacity is yield divided by drawdrawn. Transmissivity is specific capacity times 267. If yield or drawdown fields are blank, specific capacity is blank.You may search for well reports at https://tools.water.nv.gov/WellLogQuery.aspxNevada Administrative Code for Underground Water and Wells
