Three ways Texas landowners put groundwater data to work.
You inherited the family ranch. Now you're subdividing it.
You inherited your grandfather's ranch and you're splitting it into lots for buyers. Every buyer wants to know: will I get a well that gives me at least 5 gpm and can provide water for at least 8 hours? Type the address into Texas Well Water Map to see the success rate and average well depth nearby, so you have real answers ready.
Your well has performed for 20 years. Now it's slowing down.
Your well pumped 20 gallons a minute for 20 years, and now it's dropping. Open Texas Well Water Map to see how deep the successful wells in your area went. If the stronger wells nearby came in deeper than yours, that's worth a conversation with your driller. If they came in at about your depth, depth may not be the variable to change.
You're expanding the ranch. The next well is the question.
You're developing more of your land and you need another water source. Start with Texas Well Water Map and check the area's drilling success rate. A strong area record gives your driller a solid starting point. Where the record is thinner, a Well Water Finders on-site survey measures groundwater location and depth on the acres you choose, so the drill site comes from measurement rather than from the area average.
Know what the area has on record. Pinpoint what's on the acres that matter.
Whether you're drilling your first well, expanding water for cattle, or planning a new project across the ranch - start with our area analysis, and schedule an on-site survey when you're ready to drill.
Four ways to find a property: street address, GPS coordinates, Property ID/APN, or well number - so a ranch address that never quite resolves isn't a dead end.
Forty acres outside Junction. One new well. A budget you can stand behind.
You bought 40 acres outside Junction last year and you're ready to put in a well. Before you call a driller, you type the property address into Texas Well Water Map.
The 5-mile area around your property shows an 80% drilling success rate, with 20 of the last 25 nearby wells coming in successful. Residential wells average 320 feet to a successful depth; industrial wells average 720 feet. That's enough to size your budget - drilling, casing, pump, and a buffer for the deeper end of the depth range.
You schedule a Well Water Finders on-site survey to take the next step. Tell us where you're thinking of drilling and we'll survey those acres - depth, location, and potential volume, mapped to landmarks and coordinates your driller can use.
The map informs the budget. The survey informs the drill site.
Plan a new well
See depth, success rate, and where nearby wells came in before you call a driller. Walk into the conversation with a real number for budgeting.
Expand water access
Adding stock tanks, irrigation, or a second well? The map shows you where nearby drilling projects have done well and where they've struggled - helpful for staging your investment across the ranch.
Evaluate before buying
Looking at a property? Type the address. See what the data has on record before you make an offer or sign a contract.
Selling, subdividing, or buying? Start with the records.
The Texas Property Water Profile pulls the groundwater records for any Texas property - the Groundwater Conservation District, wells on record, and current property ownership, plus the area's well-success patterns. Four ways to find a property: street address, GPS coordinates, Property ID/APN, or well number - useful when a ranch address never quite resolves. It helps you answer the groundwater questions on the new Seller's Disclosure (TREC Form 61-0, effective July 1, 2026) when you're selling, and gives a read on the area's groundwater patterns before you make an offer when you're buying.
From the patterns the area shows, to the acres that matter most.
The map shows you patterns - what nearby wells have found, what depths to expect, what success rates look like. A Well Water Finders on-site survey takes the next step: a physical visit to the acres you want to survey, using our patented groundwater detection equipment.
You tell us where you're thinking of drilling, or where you want water - near the house, the barn, a stock tank, or a planned irrigation site. We survey those acres and deliver a report with depth, location, and aquifer activity, mapped to landmarks (gates, ponds, trees) and exact coordinates for your driller.
For ranches working at scale, we often grid across the property - surveying 10-to-20-acre spaced sites to give you
a read on how groundwater is distributed across the property. From there, you can hone in on the segments that look most promising.
Our 90%+ figure is measured against state-filed well reports: among customers who drilled at the specific latitude, longitude, and depth we recommended and filed a report with the state, those reports show groundwater was found 90%+ of the time. What surveys can't guarantee is the drilled well itself - drilling outcomes depend on geology, technique, equipment, and conditions beyond the survey. The survey gives you the best data available before the drill arrives.
Surveys are $1,000 per acre, with a 2-acre minimum and a 25% deposit at booking. Available in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arkansas.
FAQs
Yes. The Texas Property Water Profile pulls the records for a single Texas property into a downloadable report - the Groundwater Conservation District, wells on record, current property ownership, and the area's well-success patterns. It's a one-time purchase, separate from a Map subscription.
No. The map and Address Search work on their own subscriptions, from Free (county-level) to Paid at $14.99/month (5-mile resolution) to Premium at $29.99/month (half-mile resolution and individual well records). Most landowners start with the map and book a survey when they need direct measurement at a specific site.
The location and measured depth of groundwater on the acres we surveyed, mapped to landmarks like gates, ponds, and trees, with exact coordinates for your driller. Reports also show when no viable groundwater is detected - saving you the cost of drilling a dry hole.
State-filed well reports confirm that wells drilled at our recommended site and depth found groundwater 90%+ of the time. What we can't guarantee is the well itself - drilling outcomes depend on factors beyond the survey, including local geology, drilling technique, and pumping equipment. The survey gives you the best data available to make a drilling decision.
On-site surveys are available in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arkansas. The Texas Well Water Map covers all 254 Texas counties.
