THIS MAP IS A SUMMARY OF WATER WELL DATA COMPILED BY BEDROCK UNIT. THE MAP IS NOT PROBABALISTIC AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO PREDICT YIELD OR DEPTH. Mean Yield (gpm) of Water Wells Compiled by Bedrock Unit, Vermont. by Marjorie Gale, Ryan Knox, George Springston, and Laurence Becker 2009 DATA AND DATA SOURCES: Number of wells: 92,315 Number of located wells: 10,807 Mean yield, all wells: 13.76 gpm Median yield, all wells: 6 gpm Mean depth, all wells: 293.02 ft. Median depth, all wells: 260 ft. The well data used in this study is a derivative set of the Vermont Dept. of Environmental Conservation Water Supply Division (WSD) well driller database. The location of the data points is from 1) well driller maps and written descriptions, 2) E911 addresses (3100 wells), and 3) GPS measurements (7707 wells). Only 12% of the wells have a reliable location. Of the 92,315 wells, most are completed in bedrock, although many have no entry in the "well type" data field. Some corrections were made to the database where numerical errors were obvious and could be reconciled with a driller report. Some well yield values may be inflated due to difficulty in accurately measuring high yields. No attempt was made to discern the rock type in which a well was actually completed as compared to the rock type at the surface. Where units are thin and shallow dipping, it is possible that a well penetrates one or more formations. Point density is shown in shades of blue, with deeper shades reflecting higher point density. Bedrock map units from the USGS digital data from the 1961 Centennial Geologic Map of Vermont, scale 1:250,000.
