Method: medians computed from KGS/DOW records (Kentucky groundwater repository water wells (the state's own W-type split — monitoring wells are a separate file and never counted); depths 0-5,000 ft). Cost estimate applies published per-foot ranges (checked 2026-06-11) to the local median depth — full methodology & sources.
