In the limestone rich area
of southwestern Hart County most drilled wells are adequate for a domestic
supply. Yields as high as 50 gal/min have been reported from wells penetrating
large solution channels. Depths of adequate wells range up to 500 feet.
In the
southern half and parts of north central Hart County, about three-fourths
of the wells yield enough water for a domestic supply. In the remaining
areas of the county only a few wells yield enough water for a domestic
supply, except in the lowland areas bordering streams where yields are
sufficient from some wells. Springs with flows ranging from a few gallons
per minute to 35,000 gal/min are found in the county. Minimum flows
generally occurs in early fall, maximum flows in late winter. The larger
springs in the county have sufficient flows to be utilized for public
or industrial water supplies.
