The database contains index details supplementary to SOBI, including information on the availability of more detailed hydrogeological information. Four main categories of data are held within the database; lithostratigraphic details, well/borehole construction including casing and screens, water information including depths and pumping rates and water quality information.

Data content varies from record to record, depending on the information contained within the paper record. Water wells are only included if notified to BGS, and information is mainly dated from the construction of the well, with only limited data on subsequent usage or current status.
