Solution Exercise 7
Reasons that records may not be included in a well record database vary, but it is usually because of one of the following:
- records are not being submitted by water well contractors due to poor enforcement of legal requirements;
- records are not being submitted because there is no legal requirement for contractors to do so;
- records are not being submitted because there isn’t an easy mechanism in place for well contractors to submit this information; and,
- the water well associated with the missing well record was constructed prior to the implementation of a framework for well record submission.
