Abstract
dc:description.abstractGroundwater wells are critical infrastructure with significant impacts on the environment, water availability, and economy. However, comprehensive data on the purposes, locations, depths, and construction of these wells are only collected by individual states. We have compiled a nationwide dataset of groundwater wells throughout the United States. The tabular dataset consists of all groundwater well data obtained from the states, containing over nine million records. A subset of this dataset was created that excludes wells located outside of the reported county or state, with over eight million records. Our dataset represents all known groundwater well locational data that states could release. The data made available by these datasets can serve as a critical tool for refining our understanding of how groundwater is accessed and used throughout the United States, and how it impacts different industries.
