Landowners may access drilling records for studies completed on their property or surrounding lands. These records are available at your local County, MD, or PFRA offices. At the same time, the results of the Mow- Tech Ltd. gwQuery program can be obtained and may provide some guidance on possible groundwater options. Review the collected water well records. Talk with your neighbours about their water wells and investigate any problems that they may be experiencing, including water well yield, water quality, or maintenance problems.
Information regarding who drilled the water well is also important.
Landowners are encouraged to talk with the drilling companies that drilled their water well and others in the area. These companies can supply information regarding the success of local water wells in the area, while providing suggestions and cost estimates for groundwater exploration or the installation of a new water well. Well log records Contact the Alberta Environment Groundwater Information Centre for information regarding recent and historical records for water wells drilled in your area. Only those well records on file with Alberta Environment at the time the regional groundwater assessment study was done are available. Recent well logs may not be available.
