Ground Water In Louisiana PDF Download

This report contains ground-water data from 200 public-supply facilities in Louisiana. A summary for each system gives the following information: source of supply, population served, daily pumpage, chemical analysis of the water, driller's log or sand intervals shown on electrical log, and construction data of all public-supply wells. The 200 facilities, which serve a population of slightly more than a million, pumped an average of 94 mgd (million gallons per day) in 1959, or about 90 gpd (gallons per day) per person. The major water-bearing units are the Chicot aquifer of Pleistocene age, sands of Pliocene (?) age, sands of Miocene age, and the Sparta Sand of Eocene age.
