Method: medians computed from IDNR records (filed water-well records from the Indiana DNR Division of Water (the public dataset carries no well-use code, so all records are included); depths 0–5,000 ft). Cost estimate applies published per-foot ranges (checked 2026-06-11) to the local median depth — full methodology & sources.
