Wells in Pitkin County – Location Accuracy

There are a lot of wells in Pitkin County, and they are sorted by watershed. This analysis determined the depths of all the wells in relation to the Alluvial aquifer (the top formation) and found which wells are assigned to the wrong watersheds.

The permit numbers indicate which wells are assigned to the wrong watersheds. If a government official were to attempt to fix their databases, this map should make that easier.
