This report is the fourth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series are prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources and are designed to provide data to enable interested parties such as legislators, administrators, and planners to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions.
This report, like the others (see references, p. 89), contains information on well construction, ground-water withdrawals, water-level changes, and related changes in precipitation and streamflow. It also contains supplementary data that are related to ground-water use in some areas. In reports of this series, the inclusion of such supplementary data as graphs showing chemical quality of water and maps showing water-table configuration is intended only for those years or areas for which applicable data are available and are important to a discussion of changing ground-water conditions.
The report includes individual discussions of the most important areas of ground-water withdrawal in the State for the calendar year 1966. Water-level fluctuations, however, are described for the period spring 1966 to spring 1967. Many of the data used in the report were collected by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer.
