Enum: HydrogeologyWellType

Classification of wells used for groundwater access, monitoring, and management.

Permissible Values

Value	Description	Broad Mappings
MONITORING_WELL	A well used to observe and measure groundwater conditions such as water level, quality, and flow
PRODUCTION_WELL	A well used to extract groundwater for water supply purposes
INJECTION_WELL	A well used to inject fluids into the subsurface for disposal, storage, or aquifer recharge
OBSERVATION_WELL	A well used to observe hydrological parameters without significant water extraction
PIEZOMETER	A device or small-diameter well used to measure hydraulic head at a specific point in the subsurface
EXTRACTION_WELL	A well used to remove contaminated groundwater as part of remediation activities
RECHARGE_WELL	A well used to artificially replenish groundwater by injecting treated water into an aquifer
GEOTHERMAL_WELL	A well drilled to access geothermal resources for energy production or direct use	ENVO:01000002
