GeoIndex Water Wells

This layer of the GeoIndex is a subset of the borehole records dataset. There are 100,000 paper records of water wells, including details of lithologies, well construction, water levels and yields and water chemistry. Zero values for the depth represent those for which the depth has yet to be entered into the database from the paper records. The columns of information called GEOLOGICAL, CONSTRUCT, CHEMICAL and HYDROGEOL represent the availability of geological records, construction details, water quality data and hydrogeological data (sold separate to the rest water level and aquifer properties data) respectively. They have an 'unknown' value where the paper records have yet to be checked for their content.
