Locating, Acquiring, and Digitizing Geophysical Well Logs
Project Summary:
The study will involve identifying candidate well logs, acquiring digital images of logs, and entering requested attribute data into a TWDB database to create reasonable statewide coverage from which TWDB can further assess the distribution, quantity, and quality of brackish groundwater resources across Texas.
