ABSTRACT

Information on major new water wells in Brazoria, Fort Bend, and Waller Counties was compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1975 to 1979. This report presents the results ofthe hydrologic data collection on new large-capacity and other selected wells, including well location and completion data, drillers' logs of the strata penetrated, water levels, and chemical quality of the produced water . These water-well data are supplementary to similar data on older wells in these counties and descriptive evaluations of the ground-water resources which have been published previously.

RECORDS OF WELLS, DRILLERS' LOGS, WATER-LEVEL

MEASUREMENTS, AND CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF

GROUND WATER IN BRAZORIA, FORT BEND, AND

WALLER COUNTIES, TEXAS, 1975-79

INTRODUCTION

Hydrologic data from Brazoria. Fort Bend. and Waller Counties. Texas. are being collected in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources to evaluate the ground-water resources of the greater Houston-Galveston region. The data-collection program consists of an inventory of new large-capacity and other selected wells. water-level measurements in observa­tion wells. and a compilation of information on land-surface subsidence.

The hydrologic data are publishedevery5 years. Thefirst report(Naftel. Vaught. and Fleming. 1976) presents data collected from 1966 to 1974. This report presents records of wells. drillers' logs. water-level measurements. and chemical analyses of ground water collected during 1975-79 (Tables 1-12). Additional information on the geology and hydrology ofthe area may be fou nd in publications listed in "Selected References."

Most of the chemical analyses presented in this report were determined in the laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey. but some data were obtained from commercial analyses. Dissolved solids (sum of constituents) and hardness (Ca. Mg) were recalculated to correspond to the Geological Survey reporting methods.

METRIC CONVERSIONS

The "inch-pound" units used in this report may be converted to metric units by the following conversi on factors:

From Multiply by To obtain

feet 0.3048 meters (m)

gallons per minute (gal/ min) 0.06309 liters per second (1 / s)

inches 2.54 centimeters (cm)

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The well-numbering system used in this report was devised by the Texas Department of Water Resources for use throughout the State. Under this system, each 1-degree quadrangle is given a number consisting of two digits. These are the first two digits in the well number. Each 1-degree quadrangle is divided into 7 Y2-minute quadrangles which are given two-digit numbers from 01 to 64. These are the third and fourth digits of the well number. Each 7%-minute quadrangle is divided into 2%-minlite quadrangles which are given a si ngle-digit number from 1 to 9. This is the fifth digit of the well number. Finally, each well within a 2%-minute quadrangle is given a two-digit number in the order in which it was inventoried, starting with 01 . These are the last two digits of the well number.

On the well-location maps (Figures 1-3), only the last three digits of the well number are shown at each well location; the second two digits are shown in the northwest corner of each 7%-minute quadrangle; and the first two digits are shown by the large block numerals 59,60,65, 66, and 81 .

In addition to the seven-digit well number, a two-letter prefix is used to identify the county. The prefix for Brazoria County is BH; for Fort Bend County, JY; and for Waller County, YW.
