Three ways Texas realtors put groundwater data to work.
Your client wants the country life. The land needs to deliver water.
Your client wants to build their dream home on rural land with no city water. Type the address, or the Property ID/APN into Texas Well Water Map to see the drilling success rate nearby and the average well depth. With Texas wells running $45 to $65 per foot, you can give your client a real budget before the offer goes in.
You're sourcing land for a facility that needs serious water.
A client needs land near Austin for a concrete plant that uses a lot of water. Open Texas Well Water Map and click "Industrial" to filter the heat map for high-flow wells, then look for areas with strong success rates.
Statewide views narrow your search; property-level views help you shortlist candidate sites.
A listing isn't moving. The well history is hurting the deal.
The property has a tough well-drilling history, and buyers are passing. The seller could drill a working well now - a real water source makes the land easier to sell. A Well Water Finders on-site survey shows where groundwater is and how deep, so the seller's drilling investment goes into the right spot from the start.
Walk into closings with the data the area has on record.
Four ways to find a property: street address, GPS coordinates, Property ID/APN, or well number. See the area's drilling success rates, typical well depths, and how outcomes are spread across the surrounding area - before the offer goes in.
Texas Property Water Profile
Records for the disclosure. Due diligence for the offer.
A new Seller's Disclosure (TREC Form 61-0), effective July 1, 2026, asks sellers what they know about a property's groundwater. The Texas Property Water Profile pulls those 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 - so a rural listing with a shaky address is still one search away.
When you're listing
It helps your seller answer the disclosure's groundwater questions from the record instead of from memory - the district and the wells on file, all in one document.
When you're representing a buyer
It's a read on the area's groundwater patterns before the offer goes in - the same records, plus how often wells in the area came in successful, so your client walks in informed.
One document, both sides of the table.
Every Profile you pull is stored in your account under My Property Water Profile Reports, listed by property with the date you ordered it - so when the offer comes in weeks later, the water research for that listing is right where you left it.
Explore the Profile
Your client asks about water. You answer from the record.
You're showing 40 acres outside Fredericksburg. Somewhere between the gate and the back fence, your client asks the question every land buyer asks: is there water here?
You pull up Texas Well Water Map on your phone. The same four ways to find a property work here, so a rural listing with a shaky address is still one search away.
The site sits near Luckenbach, and the 5-mile area around it shows a 78% drilling success rate. That means 78% of the wells drilled there came in at 5 gallons per minute or better and ran for 8 hours. It also means 22% didn't.
The same view shows how deep the successful wells nearby went, which is what turns "there's probably water" into a number your client can put in a budget before the offer goes in.
Five miles is a region. Half a mile is a property. Either way, you're answering from the area's drilling record rather than from what the last agent told you.
And when your client wants it in writing, the Texas Property Water Profile puts the same records into a document you can send before the offer goes in.
Validate a listing
Before you take a listing, see what the area's drilling record looks like. A property in a 22% success-rate area is a different listing than one at 85% - and the asking price should reflect it.
Scan a county
Compare counties at a glance with statewide heat maps. Useful for buyers who haven't picked an area yet, or for seeing which parts of a county have stronger or weaker well histories.
Prep for a showing
Type the address or Property ID/APN before you arrive. Walk the property knowing what nearby wells have found - depth, success rate, and how similar drilling projects turned out.
When the listing matters enough to confirm.
The map shows patterns. A Well Water Finders on-site survey covers the acres you choose to survey - direct measurement of where groundwater is, how deep it is, and the exact coordinates your driller can use. For a high-value listing, a development parcel, or a client who needs more before closing, a survey takes you from regional patterns to specific coordinates. Surveys are $1,000 per acre, with a 2-acre minimum, and take about an hour per acre.
