Ground water is one of the most valuable and abundant natural resources of Louisiana. Of the 4.4 million people who live in the State, 61 percent use ground water as a source for drinking water. Most industrial and rural users and half of the irrigation users in the State rely on ground water. Quantity, however, is not the only aspect that makes ground water so valuable; quality also is important for its use. In most areas, little or no water treatment is required for drinking water and industrial purposes.

This report summarizes data collected during the initial phase of the study of ground-water conditions along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Only the area from just below Baton Rouge to Norco in St. Charles Parish is covered by this interim report; a reconnaissance report, Geological Survey Circular 374 (Eddards and others, 956) provides some information for the remainder of the project area. The final report will define the potential yield and quality of water in aquifers in the entire project area.
