Bore Record

About this app

A borewell driller sees the same ground come up over and over - clay here,
rock there, water at roughly the same depth across one stretch of village
and nowhere near it two fields over - but that knowledge has usually lived
nowhere but memory and a paper notebook left in the truck. Bore Record
turns it into something that can actually be looked back at.

Log a site and build its column the way it was actually drilled: layer by
layer, from the surface down, in whatever the ground turned out to be -
topsoil, clay, sand, rock, whatever was hit - with no gap and no overlap
ever allowed in between. Mark where the water was struck, or that the hole
came up dry; both are worth recording, because a dry hole is exactly the
kind of thing memory forgets first.

Every site is filed under its area, and once enough sites have been logged
in the same area, Bore Record shows the range water has typically been
found at nearby - a real range drawn from the driller's own record of past
jobs, not a single falsely precise number, and never shown at all until
there is enough evidence logged to say it honestly. Areas with too few
sites logged simply show nothing yet, rather than a guess dressed up as a
figure.

This is a record, not a forecast, and it holds no money anywhere in it -
no quotes, no day-rates, no charges of any kind. It gives no geological or
hydrogeological advice, and no guarantee about what any particular new
site will hold - the only way to know that is still to drill it. What it
gives is an honest look back at what has actually come up nearby before,
kept as the driller's own record rather than left to memory.

Everything stays on the phone it's used on. There is no account, no
sign-in, and no data of any kind sent anywhere.
