Detailed Summary

The representative geologic profile for the Gowen region, based on multiple sampled household wells, shows a prevalent sequence of surficial clay (including red, brown, and gray varieties), grading into interbedded sand, gravel, and additional clay layers. The most productive aquifers occur within medium to coarse sand and gravel layers, frequently beginning around 40-70 ft and persisting to the full well depth. Some deeper wells exhibit repeated alternations of clay and sand to depths exceeding 100 ft. Static water levels are typically 20-25 ft below grade. Residential wells are generally completed at 50-80 ft for sustainable yields (10-15 GPM), while high-capacity wells extend deeper into thick, clean sand/gravel beds.
