Abstract
Large number of Georgia poultry farms are
located in rural north Georgia and are underlain geologically
by igneous and metamorphic rocks within which ground
water movers through fractures and along contact zones.
Location of water well sites are essential in the production of
adequate water supplies.
This paper describes the geological and geophysical
surveys conducted at two poultry farms to locate new and/or
back-up water wells. These two farms are uniquely different
in topography and geology, and well yields ranged from 50 to +150 gallons per minute (gpm).
