Test wells SF-1A, 1B, 1C, and SF-2A, 2B, 2C, Santa Fe County, New Mexico

Two well nests, SF-1 and SF-2, were drilled in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, to monitor the hydraulic head within selected zones of the aquifer. Each well nest consists of three piezometers of shallow, middle, and deep completion within the aquifer. Each set of wells was drilled to a depth of about 2,000 ft before actual construction of the piezometers. Each piezometer was completed using either 5 or 10 ft of wire-wrapped screen. These piezometers were constructed as part of a larger ongoing program with the Santa Fe Metropolitan Water Board and New Mexico State Engineer Office to establish a regional observation-well network and to define better the groundwater flow system in the vicinity of Santa Fe and Santa Fe well fields.

Simulated water-level declines caused by ground-water withdrawals near Holloman Air Force Base, Otero County, New Mexico

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, Holloman Air Force Base, studied the potential change in water levels that could occur as a result of increased groundwater withdrawals from the middle-Tertiary to Holocene age basin-fill and alluvial deposits in the vicinity of the Air Force base in Otero County, New Mexico. Water level changes of 25 ft to as much as 60 ft below their 1982 levels are projected in the well field areas by the year 2001, based on an increased groundwater withdrawal of 10%. The 400-sq-mi area of unconsolidated material is relatively flat except for the alluvial fans adjacent to the mountain front. Perennial streams are not present in the study area. The aquifer has a saturated thickness that ranges from 0 to 3 ft. Intermittent streamflow from the nearby mountains infiltrates the alluvial fans and recharges the aquifer system. Groundwater is discharged from the area by underflow, evapotranspiration, and pumpage withdrawals from wells. (USGS)

Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1965-66

The investigation of the ground-water resources of Oklahoma by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board includes a continuing program to collect records of water levels in selected observation wells on a systematic basis. These water-level records: (1) provide an index to available ground-water supplies; (2) facilitate the prediction of trends in water levels that will indicate likely changes in storage; (3) aid in the prediction of the base flow of streams; (4) provide information for use in basic research; (5) provide long-time continuous records of fluctuations of water levels in representative wells; and (6) serve as a framework to which other types of hydrologic data my be related. Prior to 1956, measurements of water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma were included in water-supply papers published annually by the U.S. Geological Survey. Beginning with the 1956 calendar year, however, Geological Survey water-level reports will contain only records of a selected network of observation wells, and will be published at 5-year intervals. The first of this series, for the 1956-59 period was published in 1962. This report has been prepared primarily to present water-level records of wells not included in the Federal network. However, for the sake of completeness it includes water-level records of Federal wells that either have been or will be published in water-supply papers since 1955. This report, which contains water-level records for the 2-year period (1965-66), is the fourth in a series presenting water-level records for all permanent observations wells in Oklahoma. The first report, published in 1963, contains water-level records for the 2-year period of (1961-62); the second report, published in 1964, contains water-level records for the 2-year period (1961-62); and the third report, published in 1965, contains water-level records for the 2-year period (1963-64).

Ground-water data of selected test holes and wells along the Arkansas river in Muskogee County, Oklahoma

The data in this report were collected during the period 1958-64 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, as part of a comprehensive study of the ground-water resources of the alluvium along the Arkansas and Verdigris Rivers between Moffett and Catoosa, Oklahoma (fig. 1). The purpose of this report is to make the hydrologic data obtained during the study of ground water in the alluvium along the Arkansas River in Muskogee County readily available to the public. The data in this report should be useful in predicting geologic and hydrologic conditions when drilling new wells. Table 1 gives information on the sizes, depths, yields, and other characteristics of wells in the area. The table also provides a key to the additional information for each well site given in tables 2 through 6. Table 2 gives logs for the materials penetrated at test holes and wells in the report area; table 3 gives depths to water measured in wells; table 4 includes chemical analyses of water from wells; table 5 gives laboratory determinations of particle-size distribution of earth samples collected from test holes and wells; and table 6 gives coefficients of permeability and other hydrologic properties of earth samples from the selected test holes. Similar data for Sequoyah County, LeFlore-Haskell Counties, and Wagoner-Rogers Counties are available in other open-file reports. An interpretive report, 'Hydrology of the alluvium of the Arkansas River, Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Fort Smith, Arkansas,' by Harry H. Tanaka and Jerrald R. Hollowell will be published as U.S. Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 1809-T.

Ground water in the alluvial deposits of the Washita River between Clinton and Anadarko, Oklahoma

The Washita River alluvial deposits between Clinton and Aandarko primarily are fine-grained sand and clay, and lesser amounts of coarser-grained material. These deposits range in thickness from 0 to 120 feet and average about 64 feet. Well yields range from only a few gallons per minute in some of the sandy clay beds to more than 240 gallons per minute (gpm) in sections where a higher percentage of coarse material has been deposited. Test pumping indicates that wells yielding 60 to 150 gpm could be developed in about 50 percent of the valley and wells yielding more than 150 gpm in about 10 percent. The higher yields generally occur along a relatively narrow buried channel where the alluvial deposits are thicker and coarser than the surrounding alluvium. This area is not discernible at the surface and must be located by test drilling.

Ground water in the alluvium of Beaver Creek basin, Oklahoma

Beaver Creek is an 857 square-mile area in south-central Oklahoma. The tributaries head at an altitude as high as 1,400 feet and the mouth of Beaver Creek is at an altitude of 804 feet. Alluvial material has been deposited along all the major streams in the basin. The alluvium contains a high percentage of clay and fine sand and ranges in thickness from a few inches to 50 feet. Replenishment of water in the alluvium is from precipitation, lateral seepage and runoff from adjoining areas, and infiltration from the streams during high flows. The town of Ryan and Waurika have constructed municipal water-supply wells topping the alluvium and residents of the town of Sugden have private wells topping the alluvium. The other major use of ground water is transpiration by trees, which are very dense where the alluvial plain is wide. In the northern part of the basin the alluvium is thin and only domestic water supplies are available. (available as photostat copy only)
