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).
This definition applies to:
- Geographic Information System
-
A system used for the design, capture, storage, management and analysis of geographic data. Often referred to as GIS.
