Water-bearing formations in that area have a potential yearly yield of 40,000 acre-feet, or about twice the amount now pumped. The area studied includes McPherson county, most of Harvey county, and parts of Sedgwick, Reno and Marion counties.
The formations have been used as a source of public water supply by the cities of Buhier, Canton, Galva, Halstead, Inman, Mound Ridge, Newton and, since 1940, Wichita. The Wichita field was developed as a result of an investigation started in 1937 by the state geological survey in cooperation with the city of Wichita and the division of sanitation of the state board of health.
Groups of 50 late enrollees are being examined each Saturday. The examinations will be completed in three weeks.
