See “Map It” from well location. Wells are mapped in following order:
    1.   GPS
    2.   Footage
    3.   Legal description location.  If no GPS or footage is available, well will be mapped
		in center of legal description provided.
        
Filing Date (Registration Date) is the registration filing date
Completion Date is the date when the well completed construction
Decommissioned Date is the year and month when the well was decommissioned in format yy/mm
Gallons/Min is the pumping rate in gallons per minute
Well Depth is the total depth of the well in feet
Static Water Level and Pumping water level are in feet
Pump Col Diameter (Pump Column Diameter) is the column size in inches
Pump Depth is the depth to the pump in feet
Footage is the number of feet from section line to well location
Permit Number is the management area permit code. 
This number is assigned
 by the individual Natural Resources Districts.
