Title:

Water Wells of Indiana - IDNR [Indiana]

Description:

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).
