SCDNR Coastal Plain Well data: The Hydrology Section of the SCDNR has hard-copy records of more than 13,000 water wells located in the Coastal Plain counties of South Carolina. The links listed below open Excel files that contain summary information about each well in our Coastal Plain inventory. In most cases, the hard-copy well records kept in our office contain more information than is presented here. (For information about water wells located in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge counties of South Carolina, contact our Pendleton office.)
For an explanation of the headers found in the Excel files, and a description of the well data, read the PDF file Explanation of SCDNR Coastal Plain well records (606 kB). This file also contains an explanation of the SCDNR well grid-numbering system.
As our web site develops, we hope to add more ground water information, such as well location maps, aquifer information, water-level data, and well-search capabilities.
Date of most recent database update: July 2007.
The hard-copy well records kept in our office are updated when new wells are added to our inventory, or when information about wells already inventoried is modified. The electronic database is periodically updated to include any changes made since the previous update.

Disclaimer: The SCDNR does not guarantee the accuracy of this well information. In many cases, our well information comes from old records, and as a result, some of the information, such as the well owner or the well use, may no longer be accurate.
This is in no way a complete inventory of all the water wells in the South Carolina Coastal Plain.
