Because of Kentucky's abundant surface-water resources, groundwater supplies (with a few exceptions) have not been a priority within the Commonwealth until recent years. However, with the passage of Federal groundwater protection legislation and increasing urban and industrial development, groundwater use has become an important issue to developers and policy makers. The Kentucky Groundwater Advisory Council was created in 1984 with a mandate to advise the Commonwealth in developing a comprehensive ground-water protection strategy. A key recommendation of the Council's protection strategy was the implementation and establishment of a computerized groundwater data repository at the Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS). This paper presents the KGS groundwater database.
