In a special project funded by the CSREES Southern Region Water Coordination Project, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas utilize cameras capable of inspecting the bore of water wells. Groundwater protection programs are going beyond the traditional wellhead inspection and protection, opening a new realm of information explaining causes for water quality problems due to well construction. This approach replaces conjecture with visual facts that pinpoint well construction problems. Identifying and then fixing or sealing improperly constructed or maintained wells will eliminate direct avenues for contaminants to enter groundwater. The Southern Region Down-Well Camera Team shares experiences, water test results, wellhead photos, case studies, and down-well videos identifying well construction and maintenance problems through a computer network. Objectives are to encourage regional cooperation, expand the library of down-well videos to include well types that represent those used throughout the region, work toward a regional publication on water well maintenance and abandonment, and build partnerships with other agencies and organizations with a similar mission. This presentation will describe the well camera training program, feature video highlights from across the Southern Region, and look at partnerships created as a result of this project.
