UNDERGROUND WATER re-
cnttnrEN -


Within the next few weeks pub
LEGATION of great value to the people
Of the state will be issued bv the.
Iowa Geological Survey. It is a re-
Port prepared in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey on
the Underground Water Resources of
| Iowa. For nearly twenty years the
Iowa Geological Survey has been
gathering data relative to the water
supplies OF the state and the forth
coming volume furnishes facts which
will be of treat value to city officials,
representatives of railways and other
corporations and to private citizens
who are seeking information with ref
lerence to the water supplies of their
respective localities.
The underground waters of Iowa
| fall into two groups, namely, shallow
or local waters and artesian waters.
The former comprise those waters
which are available for home, farm
and village supply, and which com
monty lie less than one hundred feet
and rarely more than Ave hundred
/ feet below the surface. They are
usually obtained from bored, drilled,
Tor driven wells and are fed directly
by local rainfall, absorbed through
the soils above. The artesian waters
belong to rock strata below the coun-
try rock end circulate through the
more permeable layers under great
er Or less pressure. Wells penetrating
ito these waters are artesian wells
whether they flow at the surface or
not.
A sufficient knowledge OF the atti-
tude and nature of the deeper rocks OF
Iowa has been gained to permit salts
factory forecasts to be made in near
~ all parts Of the state relative to
the depth at which artesian water
may be found, its pressure, quantity.
quality and availability for specific
uses, and in the forthcoming report
forecasts will be found for all towns
iof the state whose populations indi-
cate that an artesian supply may be
needed, and in which the artesian
field mas not been already fully ex-
plotted.
part Of the report deals with the
chemical characters OF the waters
The inorganic chemical substances
have been determined In average and
representative well waters in many
localities of the state
For the purposes of this report the
state has been divided into eight dis.
!. tricts as follows: Northeast, east
central, southeast, south central. cen
trail. southwest and northwest With
!. in each OF these districts the county
is taken as the unit. In connection
with each county information is giver
with regard to the topography. geol
Eogy, sources and distribution of tbs
water supply, and the city and village
supplies. Tables containing importan
facts in connection with the typica
wells Of the county are given
The report has been prepared b!
Professor w H Norton and severa
collaborators. That part OF the re
s port dealing with the chemical char
acters Of the waters has been pre-
pared by Professor HENDERSON
