Abstract
In December 1988, a hydrogeologic investigation was conducted at a 225-acre area in the Piedmont province near
Atlanta, Georgia (Figure 1). The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate a method for selecting high-yield well sites in an area underlain by metamorphic rocks. The method consists of using site-specific geologic mapping and other field observations to delineate areas for drilling wells.
