Groundwater temperature data was collected state-wide from public water supply districts and springs.
These measurements were taken with a YSI conductivity meter that measures temperature. This data
includes measurements from oil and gas geophysical logs, Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) partnership
data, Shallow Carbon Sequestration Demonstration Project, and springs data gathered from Missouri
Department of Natural Resources publications and files. Additional data was collected from U.S.
Geological Survey publications. Temperature data accuracy reflects original data source.

Data collection would not have been possible without the generosity of the many public water supply
districts and city water departments state-wide that provided access to their water wells. The Missouri
Department of Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Quality provided access to their files for
collection of landfill monitoring well data. The Missouri Department of Conservation and Missouri
Department of Natural Resources, Division of State Parks allowed access to their lands.
Acknowledgemets to Vicki Voigt and Karen Loveland, Missouri Geological Survey (MGS), for their
work collecting the water data and Airin Haselwander, of MGS, for assistance with data entry.

This data shows that the geothermal characteristics of Missouri support use of ground source heat pumps
(GSHPs) that generally do not need to be drilled deeper than 1,000 feet. The use of geothermal GSHPs
has the potential to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels for heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC).
These systems are excellent economical alternatives to electric and fossil fuel powered HVAC systems.

The contours were generated in ArcView™ 10.0 using raster interpolation, within the 3D Analyst Tools.
The raster interpolation utilized the natural neighbor tool. Subsequent to generating the raster image, the
raster surface tool was used to contour the data from the raster interpolation. Some manual editing was
performed to ensure contour lines honor data points values and guarantee quality control. The contours
are in degrees Fahrenheit and depict the temperature-at-depth for the corresponding aquifers and
confining units.

These maps illustrate the measured groundwater temperatures and depths in the post-Paleozoic
sediments (glacial till and Bootheel alluvium), Western Interior Plains Confining System, Ozark
Confining Unit, St. Francois Confining Unit, St. Francois Aquifer and the Basement Confining Unit.
The post-Paleozoic sediments comprise the Quaternary System, Cenozoic Erathem, Mesozoic Erathem
and Cretaceous System. The Western Interior Plains Confining System comprises the Pennsylvanian
System. The Ozark Confining Unit comprises the lower Mississippian Subsystem, from the Northview
Shale to the Kinderhook Shale, Devonian System and Silurian System. The St. Francois Confining Unit
comprises the Upper Cambrian Series, Elvins Group. The St. Francois Aquifer comprises the Lower
Cambrian Series, from the Bonneterre Formation to the Lamotte Sandstone. The Basement Confining
Unit comprises the Precambrian-age igneous rocks. Each well data point has a corresponding
groundwater temperature and depth measurement, used to verify that the well water was originating
from either aquifers or confining units.
