Ground-Water Resources of Caldwell County, Texas.

PB298138

Publication Date	1966
Personal Author	Follett, C. R.
Page Count	153
Abstract	The economy of Caldwell County depends chiefly on the raising of livestock, farming, small industries, and oil production. The principal fresh to slightly saline water-bearing formations underlying the county, from oldest to youngest, are the Wilcox Group, Carrizo Sand, Reklaw Formation, Queen City Sand, Leona Formation, and Recent alluvium. Of these, the Carrizo Sand and Wilcox Group together constitute the most favorable aquifer for future large-scale ground-water development. The yields of existing water wells in the county range from a few gallons per minute to as much as 600 gpm (gallons per minute), but much larger yields can be expected from properly constructed gravel-packed wells. The potential yields that can be expected from wells tapping the water-bearing formations are as follows: Carrizo Sand and Wilcox Group, 1,500 gpm; Reklaw Formation, 100 gpm; Queen City Sand, 100 gpm; Leona Formation, 500 gpm; and Recent alluvium, 300 gpm.
