“How can people use geospatial resources to identify optimal well development sites?”

Water managers must conduct physical on-site tests to assess the suitability of a location for well construction. Geospatial resources can help identify regions likely to contain high-quality aquifers for groundwater extraction. This process involves applying boundary conditions—constraints that define where viable solutions exist—based on multiple criteria to determine optimal locations. This is How People Can Use Geospatial Resources to Identify Optimal Well Development Sites.
