Aquifer Properties and Well Yield Data

This page provides access to aquifer test results and well yield data collected across Texas. These data help characterize aquifer performance, including transmissivity, storativity, and well productivity. While some datasets are still being finalized, serveral historical and modern resources are available below.

Well Yield Data

  • Well Yield Data from the Groundwater Database (GWDB) [Coming Soon]

  • Well Yield Data from the Submitted Drillers Report (SDR) Database [Coming Soon]

  • Groundwater Availability Models

    Some aquifer properties are also included in Groundwater Availability Models (GAMs). These models and supporting documentation can be downloaded from the GAM Downloads page.


    Need More Detailed Data?

    We are currently compiling transmissivity and storativity data from historical reports and Groundwater Availability Certification documents. While this dataset is not yet publicly available , we can provide data upon request.
