Title:

Water Wells - Southwest Michigan [Michigan]

Description:

The data inthese six filesis derived from Wellogic, the EGLE statewide ground water database. The six files combined contain information on over 575,000 spatially verified water well records. The six files are intended to provide water well information for wells in counties clustered by geographic region: Upper Peninsula, Northern Lower Peninsula, East Central Lower Peninsula, West Central Lower Peninsula, Southwest Lower Peninsula and the South Central - Southeastern Lower Peninsula. The files are constructed to be easily merged, containing the same number and type of attribute fields.Although the derived data in these files represents the best readily available data, the six files do not represent a complete database of all wells or well records in existence. Beginning January 1, 2000 virtually 100% of new wells constructed are accounted for in Wellogic, however for wells older than 2000 the rate of inclusion varies from county to county, and may be considerably lower.Further, there is a quality control check on location that may exclude a limited number of wells from Wellogic from the six files made available on this site. The locational data also has varying degrees of accuracy; ranging from precise GPS point collection to address geocoding, but there may also be erroneous locations regardless of collection method that have not been corrected as of yet. Refer to the METHD_COLLfieldto determine each individual record's potential locational accuracy.
