This definition applies to:
- bore
-
A hole drilled in the ground, a well or any other excavation used to access groundwater. May be used for observation of groundwater (including water level, pressure or quality).
This definition applies to:
- bore feature
-
Point feature class that represents the location of a bore and associated attributes. Multiple independently screened bore pipes are regarded as separate bore features.
This definition applies to:
- bore line
-
A three dimensional line feature class that represents the hydrogeologic units along a borehole.
This definition applies to:
- bore log
-
A table with rock or sediment types classified into hydrogeologic units along a borehole.
Synonym: hydrostratigraphy log
This definition applies to:
- bore pipe
-
An independently screened inlet to a bore that can be pumped or monitored separately. A bore can have multiple pipes, each having one or more screens.
This definition applies to:
- bore screen
-
The construction component of a bore that allows groundwater to enter e.g. casing with slots or holes.

This definition applies to:
- casing
-
The construction component that lines a bore and provides the conduit from the water-producing zone to the surface.

This definition applies to:
- feature class
-
Homogeneous collections of common features, each having the same spatial representation, such as points, lines, or polygons, and a common set of attribute columns, for example, a line feature class for representing road centrelines. The four most commonly used feature classes in the geodatabase are points, lines, polygons, and annotation (the geodatabase name for map text).
