Map of wells and boreholes in Spain

Spain's geological survey (IGME) records 110,296 wells and boreholes in its water database, many with their depth. It is the best public clue to whether there is water under a plot, and how deep.

What it shows, and what it does not

• Each point is a recorded work: a well, a borehole or a spring. The depth is the work's, not the water's.
• Many private wells are not recorded. No points is not proof of no water.
• What a well gives depends on the rock: see the aquifer map too.
