Underground Waters Of Northern Louisiana.
A comprehensive report on the un-
derground waters of northern Louisi-
ana has recently been published by
the United States Geological Survey
as professional paper No. IS. The
rapid economic development of this
region and the consequent growth in
population have caused a great in
crease in the demand for good water
for domestic and Industrial purposes.
Mills, congresses, cotton factories,
ice plants and other like establishments
require large quantities OF water,
while towns are looking to the under
ground supplies for water for house
hold purposes and for protection from
fire.
The investig atoms made by the
Geological Survey show til at ia north
ern Louisiana several beds OF rocks
at different depths yield abundant
supplies OF water. In professional al
paper No. 46, which may be obtained
by applying to the director of the
United. States Geological Survey,
Washington, D. c., are discussed all
the conditions that govern the occur
renee of water in wells and the rela-
ton OF the geology of the region to
the supply OF underground water. The
general discussion is followed by an
account Of the underground water con-
ditions in each parish and by detailed
we'll and spring records. The deserip-
tive notes in regard to the wells and
springs are very complete, and all
known Information reg arding the wells
IN an area may be quickly found.
There is also chapter on the methods
and cost of we'll drilling that will be
of great value in the development Of
the underground water resources. AS
the relative elevations OF various
places are Of great Importance ID the
solution Of problems relating to ar
tesian waters, there has been included
ID the report list showing the lati-
tudes Of great many points in the
area.
