This map shows the locations of wells recorded on the topographic map of Chuuk, 1:25,000 scale, published in 2001 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The wells are mostly shallow, dug wells, but may also include deeper, drilled wells on Weno and other islands.

The locations are approximate and may include features that no longer exist. It should be noted that Chuuk Lagoon has no karst terrain on high islands, so all groundwater there issues from volcanic aquifers.
