<br />.-,.,~1 <br />~~~ depths to water were measured in all wells. <br />. Samples of water collected from representative wells and <br />springs were analyzed by the Quality of Water Branch of <br /> <br />the Geological Survey. Field analyses of water from most <br /> <br />wells were made. Additional analyses of water were <br /> <br />obtained from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Gallup, <br /> <br />N. Mex., and through Mr. Fred Berry of the Petroleum <br /> <br />Research Corporation in Denver. <br /> <br />A water-well-location program was set up early in <br /> <br />the investigation to determine the areas most critically <br /> <br />in need of water for domestic or stock-water supplies. <br /> <br />If the geologic conditions were favorable, a test well <br /> <br />was drilled, and detailed lithologic logs were prepared <br /> <br />from the well cuttings. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Three deep test wells were drilled near Towaoc, and <br /> <br />aquifer tests were made at their sites. The tests were <br /> <br />made by Edward D. Jenkins, Woodrow W. Wilson, and the <br /> <br />writer, all of the U.S. Geological Survey. <br /> <br />. ~( <br />
