Abstract

In Kansas it is estimated that as much as 60 percent of the available potable ground water occurs in Quaternary deposits and perhaps half of the remaining 40 percent in the closely related Pliocene Ogallala formation. Ground-water investigations have rested upon, and in a real sense gone hand in hand with studies of Pleistocene geology. The present integrated program of ground-water studies in Kansas was organized in 1937 as a cooperative undertaking by the State and Federal Geological Surveys assisted by the Division of Water Resources of the State Board of Agriculture and the Division of Sanitation of the State Board of Health. From the outset this program has been planned as a continuing statewide program and has included detailed studies of the water-bearing formations.
