Records of Wells in Briscoe County, Texas

By

John H. Dante

September 19U6

This report, giving the results of water-well surveys in parts of BriscoeCounty, Texas, contains records of 180 wells and springs, drillers* logs of 13wells and chemical analyses of water from 23 wells and springs. It alsoincludes a map showing the location of all recorded wells and springs, eachwell or spring being given a number on the map corresponding to the numberassigned to it in the records. The report was prepared in cooperation betweenthe Texas State Board of Water Engineers and the United States Department ofthe Interior, Geological Survey.

A large part of the records were obtained by M. F. Miller,U. S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, A part were obtained, andman3r of the earlier records brought up-to-date by the writer during Augustand September 19^-6.

Included in tho table of well records is the following information: wellnumber, location and depth of well, names of owner and driller* length andsize of casing, depth to the water level on given dates* method of lift anduse of water. In tho "remarks" column the items of information include thedepth of pump setting* yield of pump in gallons a minute, drawdown in feetduring pumping, number of acres irrigated from the well, and depth to "red beds ft.

The water analyses were ma-dc under the supervision of E, w. Lohr, or W. W,Hastings, District Chemists of the Quality of Water Division of the UnitedStates Geological Survey, and Dr. 33. P. Schoch, Director of the Bureau ofIndustrial Chemistry of the University of Texas, The results of the analysesrelate only to the mineral constituents in the water and not to its sanitary-content.

Grateful acknowledgment is due to the owners of the wells and pumpingplants in Briscoe County who have given their cooperation in the collection ofthese data. Also to the Soil Conservation Service, the well drillers andrepresentatives of pump companies who contributed freely of their information.

A limited number of copies of this report are available for free distribu-tion. They may be obtained by addressing a request to Mr, C. S» Clark, Chairman,Texas State Board of Wpter Engineers, 302 West 15th, Street, Austin IU, Texas.
