Service Description: A well is a hole dug into the ground usually for the purpose of taking water from the ground but also for monitoring groundwater. Most private wells are used for home and farm water supplies are in rural areas. Springs occur where groundwater comes out at the surface. A borehole is a hole drilled into the ground to gain access to groundwater. The hole is usually deep, narrow and round.
This map shows the location of the dug wells, springs and boreholes in Ireland. Data was collected by GSI drilling or submitted to the GSI from Local Authorities and other state bodies, Private Well Grants, Drillers, Consultants, Group Water Schemes and Academia. The location accuracy is visually portrayed on the GSI webmapping viewer by the size of the circle displaying the record. It is NOT a comprehensive database and many wells and springs are not included in this database. You should not rely only on this database, and should undertake your own site study for wells in the area of interest if needed.
This map is to the scale 1:100,000. This means it should be viewed at that scale. When printed at that scale 1cm on the map relates to a distance of 1km.
It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas).
The data is shown as polygons. Each polygon holds information on the location of the borehole (X and Y coordinates), Well ID (well identifier), hole details, location details, yield, abstraction ,drilling details.

Comments: A well is a hole dug into the ground usually for the purpose of taking water from the ground but also for monitoring groundwater. Most private wells are used for home and farm water supplies are in rural areas. Springs occur where groundwater comes out at the surface. A borehole is a hole drilled into the ground to gain access to groundwater. The hole is usually deep, narrow and round. This map shows the location of the dug wells, springs and boreholes in Ireland.

Subject: Groundwater is the water that soaks into the ground from rain and can be stored beneath the ground. Wells, springs and boreholes provide vital information on the characteristics and properties of the ground and water beneath our feet. Materials extracted from beneath the ground supply everything we need to sustain our life as we know it. From the fuels we use to run our cars, to the numerous minerals that are in your mobile phone, to the minerals and water in the food and drink we rely on. These materials include rocks, minerals and fluids (eg water) or gas contained in rocks. Data from wells, springs, boreholes and geological reports are vital for finding out where these materials are located and if they are suitable for extraction. eg water, coal, oil, sand, gravel gypsum etc. The data also helps to monitor the availability of the resource eg water. Rock properties and structures such as faults impact how water and/or pollutants move below the surface. Drinking water can be protected by locating potential polluting operations, such as landfills, away from groundwater.
Geothermal energy is the energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the earth. It can be used to supply heat and hot water. It can also be used to cool a house by removing surplus heat energy and putting it into the ground. Boreholes, along with bedrock, subsoil and aquifer maps are used to help decide if the ground under a site is suitable for geothermal energy extraction.
