Ground-water possibilities in parts of Bear Lake and Caribou counties, Idaho, were studied briefly, with special reference to the vicinities of Dingle and Montpelier and to the availability of ground water for expected industrial developments. The work was part of the ground-water investigations by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the state of Idaho. Most of the factual information herein was obtained from well drillers, farmers, and municipal water engineers. Geological examination was made of apparently favorable areas and water samples were collected from wells at Dingle Station and south of Wardboro.
