This report is intended to serve two purposes: to make available to the public basic ground-water data useful in planning and studying development of water resources, and to supplement an interpretive report that will be published later. Records were collected during 1961-63 by the USGS in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer as part of the investigation of ground-water conditions in the upper Sevier River basin, in parts of Garfield, Iron, Kane, Piute and Sevier Counties, Utah. This report will be most useful in predicting conditions likely to be found in areas that are being considered as well sites. The person considering the new well can spot the proposed well site on plate 2 and examine the records of nearby wells and springs ash shown in the tables. From Table 1, he can find information on wells, including depth, diameter, water level, yield, drawdown, use of water, temperature of water, and depth of perforations. Table 2 gives information on springs such as yield, use of water, temperature, and improvements. Tables 1 and 2 note the type of material that yields water in the vicinity. Table 3 shows the historic fluctuations and trends of water levels. Table 4 shows the type of material penetrated by wells. From table 5 note the chemical quality of water from wells and springs, and from table 6, the chemical quality of surface water.
