How to Plot Borewell Data on a Map All at Once Without Manual Entry

In water resource projects, visualizing borewell data is crucial for informed decision-making. Manual plotting, however, is tedious and error-prone. The ability to plot borewell data on a map simultaneously, without manual entry, makes the process faster and more reliable. MAPOG simplifies this through features like “Add by uploading CSV/Excel” and integrated task management. This then enhances efficiency and improves organization in borewell projects.

Key Concept: Plot Borewell data

The concept of plotting borewell data in bulk involves preparing a dataset and allowing the platform to automate the plotting process. Users can upload a structured file, such as a CSV or Excel, containing essential attributes like coordinates, depth, water quality, and status. This functionality streamlines the workflow by plotting all borewell points simultaneously, thereby enhancing consistency, accuracy, and visualization for project reporting and decision-making.

Step-by-Step: How to Plot Borewell Data Efficiently

Step 1: Create a New Map Project

First, visit MAPOG and click on “Create new map.” Choose the default story template, give your project a title and description, enable the task management and save it.

Step 2: Add Borewell Data Using CSV/Excel

Now comes the time-saving part — instead of entering points manually. Go to the “Add Story” option and choose “Add by uploading CSV/Excel. Here, go to the select point type settings option & create a new location type called “Bore Well Properties”. Set the feature as a point. Include essential fields such as Depth, Water Yield, Water Quality, and Status.

Step 3: Match Attributes and Plot Automatically

Once your CSV is ready, upload it and match your Excel columns with the attributes you defined. Use the Borewell ID as the unique identifier and map the latitude and longitude columns. After submission, all borewell points will automatically plot on the map — no manual clicking required.

Step 4: Add Details and Images to Each Borewell

To make your map more informative, go to the point details section and add images or additional notes to each borewell entry. This enriches your map and makes it easier for others to understand the data visually.

Step 6: Visualize by Status and Share Your Map

Lastly, head to the “Add Style Layer” section and categorize borewells based on status or water quality, assigning different colors for better visual analysis.

Industry Applications & Benefits

Learning how to plot borewell data on a map all at once without manual entry has practical benefits across industries. For example, water resource departments can track drilling progress, environmental agencies can monitor water quality trends, and private contractors can manage project timelines — all in one interactive dashboard. Moreover, bulk data plotting ensures faster analysis, reduces human errors, and makes reporting significantly easier.
