Ground water in Northern Utah Valley, Utah: A progress report for the period 1948-1963

Thomas (Hunt and others, 1953) compiled and evaluated a large amount of ground- and surface-water data for northern Utah Valley for the years prior to 1948. This report, which was prepared as part of the Statewide cooperative program between the Utah State Engineer and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed to be a progress report which updates Thomas' work through 1963. Seymour Subitzky, assisted by N. J. Simmons, collected records of wells and springs and data on quality of water during the period 1956-59, and these data have been released separately (Subitzky, 1962). R. M. Cordova collected data on ground-water recharge and discharge in 1963. Most of these data applied to 1962, however, and that year has been used as the reference year for comparison with Thomas' work.

Records of selected wells and springs, selected drillers' logs of wells, and chemical analyses of ground and surface waters, northern Utah Valley, Utah County, Utah

This report is intended to serve two purposes: (1) to make available to the public basic ground-water data useful in planning and studying development of water resources and (2) to supplement an interpretive report that will be published later. Records were collected during the period 1956-59 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer as a part of the investigation of the ground-water resources of northern Utah Walley in Utah County, Utah. Some earlier data and other information in the tables are from published reports on the ground-water resources of northern Utah Walley. The interpretive material will be published cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah State Engineer in a companion report by Seymour Subitzky. This report is most useful in predicting conditions likely to be found in areas that are being considered as well sites. The person considering the new well can spot the proposed site on plate 1 and examine the records of nearby wells as shown on the tables. From tables 1, 2, and h he can note the type of material that yields water to wells in the vicinity; from table 2 he can note (1) the depth and diameter of wells in the vicinity and the yield of some of those wells, and (2) the depth to water or the feet of water pressure in the vicinity; from table 3 and plate 1 he may note the location of springs and the conditions related to the occurrence of these springs; and from tables 5 and 6 he may note the chemical quality of the water from wells and from some surface sources, and the uses of these waters. If the reader decides from his examination that conditions are favorable, he may place an application to drill a well with the State Engineer. If the State Engineer believes unappropriated water is available, the application may be approved after minimum statutory requirements have been satisfied. The report is also useful when planning large-scale developments of water supply. This and other uses of the report will be helped by use of the interpretive report upon its release.
