Arsenic-Related Water Quality with Depth and Water Quality of Well-Head Samples from Production Wells, Oklahoma, 2008

摘要

This report presents the results of an investigation that used the USGS well profiler to describe arsenic-related water quality with depth in two production wells in an attempt to identify zones yielding water with high arsenic concentrations. This report also describes groundwater quality of well-head samples from 12 production wells in arsenic-affected aquifers. The USGS well profiler was used on two production wells in central and western Oklahoma that yield water from the Garber-Wellington aquifer and the Rush Springs aquifer, respectively. Groundwater samples were collected at the well head from 12 production wells yielding water from the GW, RS, and two minor aquifers, the Arbuckle-Timbered Hills aquifer in southern Oklahoma and a Permian-aged undefined aquifer in north-central Oklahoma.
