Ground water is one of the most valuable and abundant natural resources of Louisiana. Of the 4.4 million people who live in the State, 61 percent use ground water as a source for drinking water. Most industrial and rural users and half of the irrigation users in the State rely on ground water. Quantity, however, is not the only aspect that makes ground water so valuable; quality also is important for its use. In most areas, little or no water treatment is required for drinking water and industrial purposes.

Fresh ground water is available in Louisiana in rocks which range in age from Paleocene to Recent. The Wilcox group of Paleocene and Eocene age contains the oldest aquifers bearing fresh water in Louisiana. This group contains fresh water in northwestern Louisiana, where it crops out or is near the surface. Water-bearing sands in the Wilcox group generally are fine grained and lenticular which preclude high yields from wells. The maximum recorded yield of a well in these deposits is about 500 gpm (gallons per minute). Water from sands in the Wilcox general is soft but commonly contains excessive amounts of iron.

This report contains ground-water data from 200 public-supply facilities in Louisiana. A summary for each system gives the following information: source of supply, population served, daily pumpage, chemical analysis of the water, driller's log or sand intervals shown on electrical log, and construction data of all public-supply wells. The 200 facilities, which serve a population of slightly more than a million, pumped an average of 94 mgd (million gallons per day) in 1959, or about 90 gpd (gallons per day) per person. The major water-bearing units are the Chicot aquifer of Pleistocene age, sands of Pliocene (?) age, sands of Miocene age, and the Sparta Sand of Eocene age.

An investigation of the geohydrologic characteristics of the Williamson Creek and Carnahan Bayou aquifers, their development, and the effects of pumpage on water levels in those aquifers was conducted at Fort Polk, Louisiana, from 1985 to 1987. Confining units hydrologically separate these aquifers from each other and from overlying and underlying aquifers. Predevelopment ground-water flow patterns followed the dip of the geohydrologic units, from areas of recharge northwest of Fort Polk, to areas of discharge to the southeast. Cones of depression at Fort Polk and at a paper mill near De Ridder in Beauregard Parish, 15 miles southwest of Fort Polk, have modified the flow pattern in the Williamson Creek aquifer. Cones of depression around Fort Polk and Leesville, Louisiana, 6 miles northwest of North Fort Polk, and around the Kisatchie well field in Rapides Parish, 31 miles east of North Fort Polk, have modified the flow pattern in the Carnahan Bayou aquifer.
