Map showing configuration of the potentiometric surface of the principal aquifer and its approximate position relative to land surface, Sugar House quadrangle, Salt Lake County, Utah, February 1972 Map showing configuration of the potentiometric surface of the principal aquifer and its approximate position relative to land surface, Sugar House quadrangle, Salt Lake County, Utah, February 1972
The potentiometric surface is an imaginary surface representing the static head of ground water and defined by the levels to which ground water would rise in tightly cased wells. The potentiometric surface of the principal aquifer within the area of the Sugar House quadrangle ranges from about 20 feet above, to as much as 500 feet below land surface as is shown on the map. The principal...
Map showing depth to top of the principal aquifer, Sugar House quadrangle, Salt Lake County, Utah, February 1972 Map showing depth to top of the principal aquifer, Sugar House quadrangle, Salt Lake County, Utah, February 1972
The depth to the top of the principal aquifer in the Sugar House quadrangle ranges from about 50 feet to more than 400 feet below land surface. The principal aquifer supplied about 4 percent, or 9,000 acre-feet, of the municipal and industrial water used annually in Salt Lake County curing 1964-68. The least depths occur in topographically low areas of the Jordan Valley, such as near...
