Description: 
This dataset contains information on the location and heat characteristics of known geothermal and heat flow wells in the state of Washington. This dataset includes borehole and water well temperature information obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology (ECY), Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources Open File Report 94-11 (OFR 94-11), Southern Methodist University (SMU) Regional Heat Flow Database, and the U.S. Geological Survey. We also include unpublished data on file with the Division. Data from these sources were incorporated into this database only if a calculated gradient or an assumed bottom-hole temperature were recorded. We use the term 'assumed' to denote that the location of the temperature measurement within the borehole is assumed to be the bottom, although this is generally unknown; temperatures from this dataset should be considered mininum bottom-hole temperatures. Scanned geophysical logs are available for some of these locations through related data tables. In addition, temperature-depth plots are available for many boreholes. Much of the data is located within central and eastern Washington.
