Abstract:
Pennsylvania Water Wells Points representing approximate locations of water wells within Pennsylvania that are recorded in the Pennsylvania Groundwater Information System (PaGWIS). In addition to identifying and location information, layer attributes include water use, well use, and depth to bedrock (if bedrock was reached). Data does not include public-water supplies. More extensive water-well data can be found by searching for specific water wells on the interactive PaGEODE web-map application at https://gis.dcnr.pa.gov/pageode/.
