Searchable descriptions of rock types. For planners, environmental consultants and regulators, water-supply engineers and drillers, and earth-science researchers.
The wiscLITH database has been gleaned from the nearly 45,000 paper records maintained by the Survey. These records contain detailed descriptions of the rock types (including stratigraphy and lithology) encountered during well drilling.
The information is organized in a set of related tables in Microsoft Access format. Forms and queries allow a user with rudimentary database skills to view, sort, select and evaluate the information; users can perform searches on the records and customize the format for their particular use or interpretation. Records can be selected and exported to other software programs for further analysis.
The data files are updated yearly.
