Description:This report supplements that part of the groundwater-resources information published in Water Resource Report 1 that pertained to Allegheny County. It focuses on the most important source of groundwater in the county—the alluvium deposits that partly fill the Allegheny and Ohio Valleys. The report presents a fairly complete inventory of municipal and industrial wells in the valley alluvium of the county and describes the utilization of the groundwater derived from those wells. In addition, data on fluctuations of groundwater levels, well logs, chemical analyses of well water, and profiles and maps relating to the valley-fill sediments are presented.
