US Brine Wells

Data obtained from the US Geological Survey comprise the largest portion and are attributed with the geographical point locations for each of the resources. There are 3 physical and 6 chemical parameters addressed. Additional well data was provided by NETL. Unfortunately, these records do not include geographical coordinate information, and therefore, would not be included in a Geographical Information Systems Inventory. Water chemistry parameters for approximately 65,000 wells are contained in this database.
