Abstract
Precipitation is the source of all fresh water supplies. A very important characteristic of precipitation in southeastern Kansas is its variability. Some years bring higher than average precipitation and others much lower than average. While the chemical characteristics and turbidity of river water vary within wide limits, supplies of fresh water for water-flooding projects can be found at many places in the Verdigris or Neosho valley drainage basins from reservoirs, streams, or shallow wells in alluvial deposits. Abundant supplies of salt water or brines suitable for waterflooding can be obtained in southeastern Kansas from drilled wells. The quantity of water that can be obtained from ground-water reservoirs of southeastern Kansas depends upon the area, thickness, porosity, and saturation of the reservoirs and upon the permeability -the rate that water will pass through the pore spaces or openings in the rock.
