The screenBottomDepth in a WellConstruction record completes the screened interval alongside screenTopDepth. The difference between the two values gives the screenLength. Environmental consultants verify that screenBottomDepth does not extend into confining layers or uncontaminated zones when designing sampling programs. Regulatory submissions frequently require both screen interval depths to justify the well's placement and confirm it targets the appropriate aquifer unit.
