Well Information

Environmental information is a key tool in the effective management of our environmental resources and human health conditions. As a result, much effort goes into data acquisition, management, maintenance, exchange, and oversight. Greater access is the goal of many data consumers, and data managers. Providers invest significant resources meeting their requirements. In response, many data providers are improving access as they post usable copies of their environmental information on the web. These efforts are a vast improvement over previous conditions; however, there is a growing desire and need to both provide and receive data in a clearly defined and a uniform way. Data from multiple sources can then be aggregated and used without the inherent variations that exist between data sets across agencies.
