Digital Database

The Department for Environmental Protection (DEP) Consolidated Groundwater Database houses information gathered from water well and monitoring well construction records, data from pre-law water wells and springs and analytical data from water samples.

Water well and monitoring well construction records are provided to the Groundwater Section of the Watershed Management Branch by Kentucky Certified Water Well Drillers.  DEP personnel conduct inspections on pre-law water wells and springs; the resulting locational information about these sites as well as analytical data related to samples collected during these inspections is also maintained in the DEP Consolidated Groundwater Database.

The database currently contains data on more than 68,000 wells and springs located throughout the commonwealth, with approximately 3,000 additional wells and springs being added to the database annually.

Groundwater data from the DEP Consolidated Groundwater Database is provided to the Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository, maintained by the Kentucky Geological Survey, and to the Water Resource Information System, maintained by the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority.

Data management and support staff assemble and analyze data from the DEP Consolidated Groundwater Database to make assessments concerning the quality of the groundwater resources throughout the state.

Information from well records pertaining to a specific site, locational information within a certain radius or water quality data pertaining to a particular area may be requested by contacting the Groundwater Section of the Watershed Management Branch via a Freedom of Information Act request. This request must be made in writing (an e-mail will suffice) to Jo Blanset using the contact information listed below. The requested records will be sent to you in electronic format if you provide a valid return e-mail address or you may make arrangements to obtain the records in paper format.
