Relation of the deep and shallow artesian aquifers near Lynndyl, Utah

Abstract

Ground water occurs in several aquifers in the vicinity of Lynndyl, Utah. There are one shallow perched water-table aquifer and at least two artisan aquifers. The perched aquifer is not related to the artisan aquifers and, because it is relatively unimportant, is not discussed here. Pumping tests made during the investigation show also that the artesian aquifers are not connected hydraulically.

The effect of pumping large-discharge wells on the ground-water reservoir in southern Utah Valley, Utah County, Utah

An extensive aquifer test in southern Utah Valley, Utah County, Utah, was made during January-March 1967 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer. The purpose of the test was to obtain data about the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer in the valley and to determine whether pumping large-diameter wells decreased artesian pressures and resulting flow from the numerous small-diameter flowing wells in the valley (fig. 1).

Ground-water areas and well logs, central Sevier Valley, Utah

Between September 1959 and June 1960 the United States Geological Survey and the Utah State Engineer, with financial assistance from Garfield, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, and Sevier Counties and from local water-users’ associations, cooperated in an investigation to determine the structural framework of the central Sevier Valley and to evaluate the valley’s ground-water potential. An important aspect of the study was the drilling of 22 test holes under private contract. These data and other data collected during the course of the larger ground-water investigation of which the test drilling was a part will be evaluated in a report on the geology and ground-water resources of the central Sevier Valley. The present report has been prepared to make available the logs of test holes and to describe in general terms the availability of ground water in the different areas of the valley.
