Searching Well Records

The well records information for Ontario can be found at:

This information can assist with identifying potential depth to groundwater. However, wells that are too deep would only present an artesian aquifer.

It has been noted through my experience that certain Hydrogeological personnel do not like the term aquifer misused. I have been informed that the preferred terminology during investigations within 10 m below the ground surface (bgs) or more should use the term "water bearing horizon".
