Wellmaster Hydrogeological Database
The WellMaster database holds hydrogeological information on water wells for wells and boreholes identified within the Single Onshore Borehole Index (SOBI) within England Wales and Scotland. The database contains index details supplementary to SOBI, including information on the availability of more detailed hydrogeological information. Four main categories of data are held within the database; lithostratigraphic details, well/borehole construction including casing and screens, water information including depths and pumping rates and water quality information.

- Supplemental Information
-
The digital database contains information derived from the National Water Well Record collection, which consists of paper records of water well information collected by BGS or submitted by water well drillers. Data content varies from record to record, depending on the information contained within the paper record. Water wells are only included if notified to BGS, and information is mainly dated from the construction of the well, with only limited data on subsequent usage or current status.

GeoIndex
The GeoIndex allows users to search for information about BGS data collections covering the UK and other areas world wide. Access is free, the interface is easy to use, and it has been developed to enable users to check coverage of different types of data and find out some background information about the data. More detailed information can be obtained by further enquiry to specified contacts, and ordering can be carried out via the web site.
