Water for domestic and nonirrigation farm use can be obtained from wells nearly everywhere in the Ouachita Mountains, and ground-water supplies as large as 50,000 gpd (gallons per day) often can be developed. In general, the best procedure for developing ground-water supplies in the mountains is to drill wells on the flanks of anticlines (in synclinal valleys) and off the noses of plunging anticlines. Ground water for industrial or municipal use in the area may require treatment for removal of iron and calcium magnesium hardness.Streams are the best potential sources of water for municipal growth and. economic development in the Ouachita Mountains. Although most streams in the mountains occasionally have very little or no flow, with adequate storage facilities they generally are the best sources of supply when water demands approach 50,000 gpd. The streams contain water of excellent quality that chemically is suitable for nearly all uses.
