(Use Case Vocabulary) national borehole databank

Summary

National obligation for drillers to declare where, how, ... they drilled a Borehole and provide the description of what they observed (log) and associated documents (end of drilling report, construction details). For example, in France every type of Borehole (actually every hole deeper than 10 meters) is to be declared even those used in Oil & Gas (embargo periods can apply). Similarly in Australia, any bore drilled for groundwater must be reported.
