Advanced Data Gathering Using GPS

AWS purchased a Trimble Global Position Satellite (GPS) unit system for use in the Abandoned Well and Wellhead Protection program. The Trimble GPS accurately located abandoned wells, known karst features associated with the recharge zone, all locations regarding SAWS public water supply wells, and all inventoried potential sources of contamination. Once the GPS data is obtained it is plotted and incorporated into SAWS' database. The table below lists potential sources to groundwater degradation that were looked for around each SAWS public supply well.
