OHIO GROUND WATER RESOURCES MAPS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
COLUMBUS, OH - Ground water resource maps, which provide information helpful in well drilling, are now available for all of Ohio’s 88 counties, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Water.
The color-coded maps illustrate how much water a drilled well is likely to produce in any given Ohio County. The maps also provide information useful in the development of a water supply, including total well depth, aquifer type, and depth to bedrock. Maps feature a brief description of the ground water geology within the county as well as data about some of the more common, naturally occurring, inorganic chemicals that might be encountered.
