| Abstract: | This report is based on a memorandum prepared and placed in the open file in typewritten form in 1944. It has been rewritten and is now published in view of the continuing interest in the ground-water resources of the area.
The report summarizes information that was available on the ground-water resources of the Oklahoma City area, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, to the end of 1943. It was prepared largely from material already in the files, supplemented by records of pumpage and ground-water levels then being obtained currently, and by a few days of field work and study of aerial photographs to outline the terrace deposits near Bethany. The predicament then faced by Oklahoma City was made more acute by the urgent need for adequate water supplies for war industries, and a general picture of ground-water possibilities and probabilities was desirable, not only to indicate where sufficient water might be obtained, but also as a guide to obtaining that water without excessive consumption of materials in short supply. Although the urgency of the situation passed with the arrival of rains that filled the municipal reservoirs, the ground water of the area is still of much interest to suburban areas, industries, and individuals providing their own water supplies. |
