Summary
This data release consists of information from published tables in Connecticut Water Resources Bulletins (WRBs) transcribed into tabular digital format. Information about wells and test holes in the WRBs used in this data release consists of geographic location, depth to consolidated rock (bedrock depth), and depth of the well or test hole. The WRBs, published between 1966 and 1980 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with either the Connecticut Water Resources Commission or the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, provided the foundational datasets for companion interpretive USGS Water-Resources Investigation Reports. NOTE: Version 2.0 adds 196 records but is otherwise identical to the original version. [...]

The purpose of this data release is to provide improved digital access to data previously available in analog tables or lithologic logs in printed reports and as low-resolution scanned images of the reports. The original reports were printed in low resolution and were not amenable to automated methods of transformation to a digital format. One use of this dataset is to inform models and maps of the top of the buried bedrock surface in Connecticut.
