Louisiana ground-water map no. 1: potentiometric surface, 1985, and water-level changes, 1983-85, of the Chicot aquifer in southwestern Louisiana

Fendick, Robert B., Jr.; Nyman, Dale J.

Abstract:

The Chicot aquifer is the principle source of groundwater in southwestern Louisiana and is the most extensively pumped (nearly 1 billion gallons per day) aquifer in the State. Withdrawals from the Chicot aquifer are used primarily for irrigation. Two maps show the generalized potentiometric surfaces of the upper sand unit (‘200-ft ‘ sand in the Lake Charles area) and the ‘ 500-ft ‘ sand of the Chicot aquifer. General water level altitudes and flow directions may be inferred from these maps which were prepared in cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Office of Public Works. Previous studies of groundwater hydrology in southwestern Louisiana are included in selected references. (Lantz-PTT)
