STATE MOVES
TO CONSERVE
WATER SUPPLY
Flowing Wells Will Be Dry
Unless Useless Waste
Is Stopped
Extension Division
University of North Dakota

The Chinese prize the thousand
year old egg, the European, the hun
dred year old wine, the American
the three year old tobacco. But the
North Dakotan gives little thought
Or value to the artesian water which
has travelled for $4,000 years to
reach our wells.
The name of the water comes ORR
ginally from Artois, an ancient pro-
vince of France where some of the
Oldest wells in the world are found.
One of them had flowed steadily
since 1926. The water itself, how
ever, comes to US from the Rocky
Mountains, Black Hills, and Big Horn
Mountains.
There the melting snow running
down the mountain sides, and the
falling rains, sink into the exposed
edges of great layers Of sandstone.
This sandstone dips beneath the sur
face and extends down the mountain
slopes, eastward, underneath the
Great Plains, far out under the prai-
ries Of North and South Dakota. 1t
carries the water with it deep down
in its stony bed beneath impervious
beds of shale until escape in any di-
rection is prevented
Then when farmer in the east
ern parts of the Dakotas, desiring a
we'll, drills down several feet into
the earth through the shale rock,
the water is forced up through the
outlet thus made by the pressure of
a higher portion of water-some-
times hundreds of miles away.
"The geologic formation deeply
underlying the Dakotas, known as
the Dakota sandstone and the over
lying dense plastic shales' from the
most remarkable artesian basin in
the United States" says the United
States Geological Survey, ut was
estimated that if all the water re-
ceived by, Dakota sandstone could be
brought TO the surface by artesian
wells, it would cover to a depth Of
one foot, an area of land equal at
the utmost to a belt one-fifth of a
mile wide, extending from the Ca
madam border to the Mexican"
The majority of the artesian wells
in North Dakota are located in the
southeastern third of the state and
tap the Dakota sandstone as source.
Literally thousands of farmers Of
this section depend on the flowing
wells which cost them originally
from $4,000 to 100000 apiece.
The early wells were six inches or
more in diameter, but between 1890
and 1910 thousands of wells, IL and
! u inches were drilled until event.
ually artesian wells were in use in
most of the prosperous farms in the
artesian basin. These smaller wells
are. less expensive and can be finish
ed with less difficulty and danger
of getting out of control. .
The first we'll in the basin was
bored in, 1882 in South Dakota by the
Chicago and Milwaukee Railway and
by 1896 over 400 wells had been
drilled in North, and South Oak ota.
