Danish shallow boreholes

The dataset contains information on more than 280.000 shallow boreholes, comprising informatiion on borehole-related data such as geological desciptions, the borehole construction, soundings etc.The dataset is part of the Jupiter Database, which is GEUS ' nationwide database for groundwater, drinking water, raw materials, environmental and geotechnical data. The database is the single public data base in the field and is included in the National Environmental Portal. The database is publicly available and is updated on an ongoing basis.

Statement
The Well Data Archive was established as a result of the Water Supply Act of 1926 with the purpose to register and preserve information about groundwater and geological conditions in Danish wells. The archive provides information on more than 270.000 wells dating back to the 1890s. Well drillers are required by law to report information on boreholes for water supply or raw materials. Administrational and technical information, along with samples of earth must be sent to GEUS.
