Guide for the location of water wells in Latah County. Information circular no. 23 Item Info

Most of the residents of Latah County derive their domestic water supplies from groundwater. The common water-yielding geologic materials include basalt, sedimentary materials, granite and metamorphic rocks. The subsurface geology is generally complex and large differences in water-yielding capabilities are found in short distances. The purpose of this report is to summarize the knowledge of groundwater geology in Latah County in northern Idaho and to provide a guide for landowners and drillers for the construction of water wells. The specific objectives of the project are to (1) review the reports and papers pertinent to the geology and hydrology of the area, (2) compile information on existing wells in the study area, and (3) present analyses of groundwater potential for subareas or basins within Latah County.
