This web-based borehole and well
library contains information about the subsurface geology for the
regions surrounding the University of Rhode Island and the city of Providence. The information
is derived from approximately 2,200 boreholes and wells in the area.
The website allows users to carry out simple searches of the database,
and then to download the results as an EXCEL file. Registered users
may also submit new data for inclusion in the database. This borehole
library is one part of a larger project, designed to develop an
interactive, web-based, and GIS-oriented library of subsurface data
in Rhode Island. The project was funded by the University
of Rhode Island Transportation Center and Rhode Island Department of Transportation. A more
detailed description of the website, plus background information,
is provided on the web page entitled About this Database.
