GROUND-WATER 'RESOURCES OF ·PARKER COUNTY, TEX·AS

ABSTRACT

Ibis report describes the geology and ground-water resources of Parker County in northcentral Texas. The county has an area of 904 square miles and is drained by the Brazos and Trinity Rivers.. The rocks discussed belong to the Pennsylvanian, Comanche, and Recent series.

The Pennsylvanian rocks exposed in the county are, from oldest to youngest: the Millsap Lake formation, the Garner formation, and the Mineral Wells formation of the Strawn group; and the Palo Pinto limestone of the Canyon group. These rocks dip northwestward and in general do not yield large quantities of fresh water to wells.

Rocks of the Comanche series exposed in the county are, from oldest to youngest: the Travis Peak formation, the Glen Rose limestone, and the Paluxy sand of the Trinity group; the Walnut clay, the Goodland limestone, and the Kiami.chi formation of the Fredericksburg group; and the Duck Creek limestone of the Washita graup. These rocks dip predominantly eastward,

East of the outcrop of the Trinity group, practically all the water used is supplied by water-bearing sands in the Travis Peak formation and the Paluxy sand. The rocks of the Fredericksburg and Washita groups do not yield water to wells.

Recent alluvium, which occurs along the Brazos and Trinity Rivers, yields small supplies of water to wells in the Brazos River flood plain.

All the domestic, stock, and public supplies are obtained from wells, except in those areas where ground water of satisfactory chemical quality cannot he found. In those areas cisterns and small surface reservoirs (tanks-) are used to store rainfall. The maximum daily withdrawal of ground water for public-supply, domestic, and farm and stock uses is estimated to be 2,625, 000 gallons, distributed as follows. public supply, 1, 000,000 gallons; domestic, 300,000 gallons; farm and stock, 1,325,000 gallons.

The field data upon which most of this report is based are given in tables. They include records of 340 wells and chemical analyses of water from 129 wells. Logs of 29 water wells and 40 holes drilled to test for oil and gas are also given.

INTRODUCTION

LOCATION AND GENERAL FEATURES OF THE AREA

Parker County is in north-central Texas. Weatherford, the county seat, is about 27 miles west of Fort Worth. The county has an area of 904 square miles and is almost square. It is bounded on the north by Jack and Wise Counties, on the east by Tarrant County, on the south by

Johnson and Hood Counties, and on the west by Palo Pinto County. The land surface is generally hilly and ranges from about 700 feet to about 1,400 feet above mean sea level. In general the surface slopes from northwest to southeast. The eastern and northern parts of the county are drained by tributaries of the Trinity River, and the western and southern parts are drained by

tributaries of the Brazos River. According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the county had a population of 21,479 in 1950. Weatherford, the only large town in the county, had a population of 8,053.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF INVE�IGATION

The investigation in Parker COunty was made during the fall of 1949 and the spring of 1950, to obtain data regarding the quantity, quality, movement, and availability of ground water. The investigation was part of a cooperative State-wide study of the ground-water resources of Texas by the Texas Board of Water Engineers and the U. S. Geological Survey. The records obtained during the field study, and a brief discussion of the geology and occurrence of ground water, are given in this report.

Information pertaining to typical water wells in Parker County is given in table 3. The numbers in the first column of the table correspond to well numbers on the well map (pl. 1), to the table of chemical analyses, and to the list of drillers' logs. The map of Parker County has been divided into grids, lettered A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and J, starting in th� northwest corner, each grid having a separate set of numbers.

PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS

Hill (1901, pp. 455-457) discussed the geography and geology of Parker County, the principles governing the occurrence of ground water, and the quality of the water. Maps 1n his report show the surface geology and the locations of artesian wells. They also show the outcrops of, depths to, and areas of artesian flow from the Travis Peak formation and the Paluxy sand in Parker County.

Records of a few wells in the v1c�ty of Garner were obtained by Turner (1934) in March and September 1931, when he made an investigation in the Mineral Wells area in Palo Pinto County regarding the occurrence of the mineralized water for which Mineral Wells is famous.

Bennett (1941) made a brief investigation in 1941 of the ground-water resources at the city of Weatherford. At that time the water supply of the city was obtained largely from two wells owned by the city, but in part from a well owned by the Texas Utilities Co. Water was obtained from sands in the Travis Peak formation.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE OCCURRENCE AND MOVEMENT OF GROUND WATER

Tile fundamental princiQ_les of the occurrence and movement of ground water in papers by �kinzer (J92�a, 1923h, 1931) and Meinzer and Wenzel (1942), and cussion that follows is a brief outline of those general principles.

have been presented others. The dis ..

The rocks that make up the outer crust oi the earth are not entirely solid but have numerous openings which are called voids or interstices The interstices range in size from microscopic openings to huge caverns such as are found in sane limestones. The open spaces general! y are connected so that water may move from one to another, though in same rocks the openings are isolated or are so small that the water bas little or no chance to circulate. The number, size, shape, and nrrangement Cli the interstices depend upon the character of the rocks. The voids in the formations Lelow the zone of saturation make up the underground reservoir, and the occurrence of ground water in any region, therefore, is determined by the geology.

Below certain levels in the earths' crust the permeable rocks generally are saturated with water and are said to be in �be zone of saturation The upper surface of the zone of saturation is called the water table. The rocks above the water table are in the zone of aeration, where the pores in the material may be filled in part with water and in part with air.

4

The zone of aeration may be divided into three subzones, in downward succession the soil zone, intermediate zone, and capillary zone or fringe. ��st plants derive water from the soil zone; some, however, in shallow water-table areas, especially in regions where the rainfall is deficient, habitually obtain their water supply either directly from the zone of saturation or from the capillary fringe.

The porosity of a rock may be defined as its property of conta1n1ng interstices; it may be expressed as a ratio between the volume of voids in the rock and the total volume of the rock itself. The porosity of a rock determines only tbe amount of water a given rock can hold, not the amount it may yield to wells. The permeability of a rock relates to its capacity to transmit water under hydraulic head.

The tenn specific yield is used to designate the water that is free to drain out of the material under natural conditions. It may be expressed as a percentage of the total volume of rock from which the water drains.

Ground water occurs in two ways. In one it has passed beneath an impermeable body of rock so that it is confined and under pressure, whereas in the other it is not. In the first case, the water will rise in wells above the level at which it is encountered, and it is called confined or artesian water. If the water in a well tapping an artesian aquifer rises above the surface of the ground, the well is called a flowing well. If the water is unconfined, no appreciable rise takes place and the upper surface of the body of ground water is the water table.

Ground water is derived chiefly from rain and snow. A part of the precipitation runs off 1n streams, a part is returned to the atmosphere by evaporation and by transpiration of trees and other plants, and a part sinks downward to the zone of saturation and becomes ground water.

In most places ground water is slowly but steadily moving under the influence of gravity from areas of intake to areas of discharge. The rate of movement is proportional to the permeability of the water-bearing medium and the slope of the water table or artesian pressure surface, which slope is called the hydraulic gradient.

The water levels in most wells fluctuate to a varying degree. These fluctuations are due to many different causes, but most of them are manifestations of a change in the ratio between the rate of ground-water intake or recharge and the rate of loss or discharge. ��st water-table wells are supplied in part from intake areas close at hand and respond with only a moderate lag to changes in rainfall. In very shallow wells the water level may rise several feet after heavy rains and decline until the wells go dry during prolonged droughts. Artesian wells that draw from sand or sandstone at considerable distances from the outcrops of the water-bearing beds seldom are affected substantially by seasonal or yearly changes in rainfall, although they may respond to the effect of a series of wet or dry years. Fluctuations in pressure in such wells and accompanying rise and fall in water levels are caused by withdrawals of ground water from the well itself or from other wells, and by changes in atmospheric pressure or in the loading of the earth's crust.

When a well is pumped or allowed to flow the water level in the well drops, and a hydraulic gradient is developed toward the well from all directions. As the hydraulic gradient increases, the water flows faster toward the well. Within limits, the rate at which water will enter the well varies directly with the amount the water level is lowered. The ratio of the yield of a well to the drawdown is called the specific capacity and may be expressed as yield in gallons a minute per foot of drawdown. For example, if the water level in a well is lowered 20 feet by pumping 20 gallons 8 mioute without exceeding the capacity of the formation to transmit water, the water level would be lowered about 10 feet while pumping 10 gallons a minute The specific capacity for such a well would be 1 gallon 8 minute per foot of drawdown.

5

Heavy withdrawals of grounc water are sure to be accompanied by a general lowering of the water table or artesian pressure, a cone of depression gradually spreading in all directions from the center of pumping until large areas may he affected However, this is usually considered not very serious unless the rate of decline persists without a corresponding increase in the rate of pumping or the trend is such as to indicate that the pumping lift may eventually exceed the economic limit.

GEOLOGIC FORMATIONS AND THEIR WATER-BEARING PROPERTIES

Rocks of the Pennsylvanian series crop out in the extreme western part of Parker County and are represented by the Strawn and Canyon groups. These rocks dip generally northwestward at the rate of about 70 feet to the mile

Rocks of the Comanche series underlie all of Parker County, except the western 2art and narrow strips along the major streams and include the water-bearing sands in the Trinity group. These sands dip eastward at the rate of about 30 feet to the mile. The outcrops of the sands in Parker County are parts of the intake areas for the underground reservoirs that supply water, not only to wells in Parker County, but to wells that yield larger quantities of water in the Fort Worth-Dallas area.

Much of the geologic information given in this report is based on works by Hill (1901), Scott and Armstrong (1930 and 1932), Sellards, Adkins and Plunmer (1932), Bay (1933), and Pluumer and Hornberger (1935).

The formations that crop out in Parker County, from youngest to oldest, are tabulated and briefly described in table 2.

PENNSYLVANIAN SERIES

Pennsylvanian rocks that crop out in Parker County do not yield large quantities of water to wells. Generally, the water from these rocks is too highly mineralized for most uses.

STRAIN GROUP

The �Kllsap Lake formation, the oldest formation exposed, crops out 1n the southwestern part of the county and is composed of shale, sandstone, and limestone. The outcrop extends from the southwest corner of the county as far north as Millsap The formation yields small supplies of fresh water in some places; however, in general it cannot be relied upon to supply water of good quality.

The Garner formation crops out west and north of Millsap. The Brazos River conglomerate member is the uppermost member of the Garner formation and is the only member of the formation that supplies water to wells. It consists of tightly cemented massive coarse-grained sandstone and conglomerate and ranges in thickness from 25 to 100 feet Several layers in the conglomerate are somewhat permeable, but the greater part of the water must circulate along bedding planes and through joints. Bay (1933, p.l56) reports this conglomerate to be tightly cemented with silica and iron oxide. Turner ( 1934), reports that wells finished in this conglomerate generally find a good supply of moderately mineralized water.

The Mineral Wells formation crops out in the northwestern part of Parker County. It consists chiefly of shale, sandstone, limestone and conglomerate Small supplies of moderately mineralized water, which is satisfactory for domestic and stock use can be obtained in the outcrop area. At present most wells tapping the formation in the county are in the vicinity of Whitt

CANYON GROUP

The Palo Pinto limestone is the only formation of the Canyon group that crops out in Parker County. It is exposed in the extreme northwest corner of the county but does not yield water to wells.

COMANCHE SERIES

TRilfiTY GROUP

The Trinity group, compr1s1ng the lowermost rocks of the Comanche series in Parker County has been divided into three formations, from oldest to youngest the Travis Peak formation, the Glen Rose limestone, and the Paluxy sand.

Travis Peak formation.- The Travis Peak formation is known locally in north-central Texas as the "Trinity sand" or "Basement sand." The formation crops out in the western part of Parker County and extends the full north-south length of the county The outcrop is identified by a deep sandy soil of reddish color and is characterized by growths of timber, largely post oak and blackjack. The soil in the outcrop contributes largely to making Weatherford one of the most important watermelon-shipping centers in the State

The Travis Peak formation thickens downdip from the outcrop and dips east at about 30 feet to the mile. The maximum known thickness of the formation in Parker County is about 200 feet.

In southwestern Parker County the Travis Peak formation lies unconformably upon the beveled edges of the beds of the Millsap Lake formation. Northward through the county it overlaps progressively higher beds in the Strawn group, and in the extreme northwest corner of the county it is lying upon the Palo Pinto limestone of the Canyon group.

The Travis Peak f�rmation in Parker County is composed chiefly of tightly cemented conglomerate beds, separated � "packsands" which become finer-grained and more calcareous upward. Layers of conglomerate occur at the base of the Travis Peak formation in the outcrop; however, higher in the formation the conglomerate grades into coarse-grained sandstone. The sands in the upper part of the formation are separated by beds of clay and limestone.

The basal part of the formation appears to be coarse, containing pebbles 2 or 3 inches in diameter; however, the spaces between the pebbles are filled with fine-grained sand. The pebbles, w�ch are generally well rounded and of various colors consist- of chert and quartz. In the outcrop a fresh exposure is dull red hut a weathered exposure is gray. The pebbles are generally cemented by siliceous or calcareous cement. �od exposures of the conglomerate can be seen along the east slopes of Grindstone Creek

Generally, one "red bed11 of a deep purple is found in the outcrop of the Travis Peak formation.

The sands of the Travis Peak formation are the most extensive water-bearing sands in Parker County. They are available everywhere within the county east of their outcrop and yield the largest quantities of ground water in the county

8 The land surface slopes eastward at a rate less than the dip of the Travis Peak formation,

consequently, in the eastern part of the county the sands lie at greater depths and the water occurs under artesian conditions. Only in the lowest parts of the valley of Walnut Creek in the northeastern part of the county, however, can flowing wells be obtained from the Travis Peak formation.

This formation is the most productive aquifer in the county. However, because in much of the area the Paluxy sand is available at shallower depth and yields ample supplies, the Travis Peak has not been developed as heavily as the Paluxy.

The water from the Travis Peak formation in the outcrop is generally hard and contains noticeable amounts of iron, but it is satisfactory for most uses The water becomes softer and 1s of better quality do .. n the dip.

Glen Rose liaestone.- The Glen Rose limestone overlies the Travis Peak formation. In the extreme northern part of the county the Glen Rose is about 50 feet thick, but in the southern part of the county it is reported by Scott and Armstrong (1932 p. 46), to be 236 feet thick.

Many of the ledges throughout the formation are fossiliferous, earthy, rotten limestone separated by layers of yellowish clay; but toward the top of the formation, especially in the southern part of the county, the ledges are massive and crystalline and form prominent escarpments The limestone beds break down into a characteristic terrace-type topography. This is well displayed on the slopes of Sanches Creek about 8 miles southwest of Weatherford along the �eatherfordDennis road.

Generally, the limestones are not permeable and do not yield water to wells, however, there are sand lenses between the limestone beds that yield small supplies of good water. In the valley of Walnut Creek in the northeastern part of the county the water in the sand lenses is under sufficient artesian pressure to cause wells to flow.

Paluxy sand.- The outcrop of the Paluxy sand bas the largest areal extent of any formation in Parker County, and it marks the first timbered sandy belt along the western margin of the limestone Grand Prairie. The outcrop of Paluxy is generally covered with post oak and blackjack timber where it has not been c leared for farming. The soils derived from the formation are sandy and deep, but unless they are properly cared for their fertility is rapidly exhausted. The soil is easily eroded by wind or water. Deep gullies form quickly unless the flow of surface runoff is controlled.

Excellent exposures of the Paluxy sand may be seen around Weatherford Veale Station and in many other places in the northern half of tbe co••nty. An exceptionally good exposure can be seen 3X miles southwest of Poolville on the north side of the Poolville-�bitt road

The Paluxy sand dips east at the rate of 15 to 20 feet to the mile in Parker County. It rests conformably on the Glen Rose and is overlain unconformably by the �alnut clay of the Fredericksburg group.

The Paluxy sand is composed almost entirely of fine-grained quartz sand but it contains beds of shale in the middle. The shales are generally white, yellow, light blue, green, or red. Few fossil remains of animals have been found in the Paluxy sand but fragments of silicified wood are abundant. Thin beds of lignite have been found in wells drilled into the Paluxy sand The thickness of the formation ranges from less than 100 feet to about 150 feet The sands of the Paluxy thicken from south to north.

From its outcrop eastward, the Paluxy sand is within a reasonable depth and generally yields water of satisfactory quality for nearly all uses. For this reason more water is pumped from the Paluxy sand than from all the other water-bearing sands in the county combined. The water in the Paluxy sand does not have enough artesian head to flow naturally, except on the flood plain of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River 2 miles west of Aledo (well fl4). The supply is ample for domestic and stock use and it is unnecessary to drill to the deeper and more prolific sands of the Travis Peak fonnation. As a rule, the water in the outcrop is hard and high in iron Generally the best water is found in the lower part of the formation,and the water becomes softer and of better quality down the dip.

FBBUBRICISBUBG A"D WASHITA GROUPS

The Walnut clay, Goodland limestone, and Kiamichi formation of the Fredericksburg group, and the Duck Creek limestone of the \\ashita group, do not yield water to wells in Parker County and will not be further described.

RECENT SERIES

The Recent alluvium along the Brazos River valley consists primarily o-f flood-plain deposits of sand and gravel transported and reworked from the Travis Peak formation and other rocks upstream. Along the Clear Fork of the Trinity River the alluvium consists of sand, gravel, clay, and water-worn Cretaceous fossils. The only area where a ground-water supply is obtained from the alluvium is along the Brazos River in the vicinity of Dennis and farther east in the valley of the Big Bend. Generally, the water from the alluvium is satisfactory for most uses

SPRINGS

Many springs discharge along the valleys of streams in Parker County. The discharge from each outlet or spring along the creeks is small, but in the aggregate, large quantities of ground water issue from the underground reservoirs along the courses of the creeks.

Most of the springs observed in Parker County are gravity springs; the water does not issue under artesian pressure but is at the outcrop of the water table. Generally the springs are of the seepage type, in which the discharge is distributed along the banks and bottom of the creek. The water in this type of spring or seepage area percolates from permeable material under the action of gravity. Part of the water that issues from springs returns to the aquifers downstream.

PRESENT DEVELOPMENT OF WATER FROM WELLS

The development of ground water in Parker County has been chiefly for domestic supply, for watering stock, and for the municipal supply of Weatherford. Irrigation is restricted to small garden plots, and the quantity of water used for irrigation is very small.

The estimated number of wells in the county and the maximum daily withdrawals from these wells in 1950 are shown below. Most of the water used is supplied by water-bearing sands of the Trinity group, the Paluxy sand being most important at present; and the Travis Peak formation ranking second.

Number Maximum number of Use of wells gallons used per day

Municipal 15 1,000,000

Domestic: private wells in Weatherford and small conmuni. ties 750 300,000

Farm and stock 2,100 1,324,000

Total 2,865 2,624,000

The city of Weatherford is the only large individual user of ground water. It has 15 wells in operation, which yield an average of 50 gallons a minute each, or a maximum of 1,000,000 gallons a day, from the Travis Peak formation. The maximum rate of discharge from any one well is 90 gallons a minute. The specific capacities of three wells that draw water from the Travis Peak formation in the "eatherford area are: well E33, 2.14; well El6, 1.08; and well E20, 2.14 gallons a minute per foot of drawdown. These specific capacities were reported by the drillers when the wells were completed. Owing to a reported decrease in yields of the city wells, and to a general lowering of water levels below the top of the Travis Peak formation, it appears that the city of Weatherford has a serious water problem. If additional supplies of ground water are to be developed by the city, the sites of well fields should be carefully selected, and wells should be spaced at considerable distances from each other and from the present wells.

Some areas in the county can never obtain adequate supplies of ground water of good quality because the underlying formations consist of impermeable clay, shale, and limestone. These areas are in the western part of the county, particularly in the vicinity of Millsap Small local supplies of satisfactory quality might be obtained; however, the water is limited in quantity and ordinarily is too highly mineralized for most uses.

In the outcrop of the Travis Peak formation potable water supplies are obtained from shallow dug wells. The water in these wells comes from the precipitation that falls in the area and percolates to the water table. Wells have not been drilled to the Travis Peak formation in Parker County east of Weatherford because of the more easily available water in the overlying Paluxy sand.

Generally, wells in the outcrop of the Glen Rose limestone are drilled through the limestone, and water is obtained from the underlying Travis Peak formation; however, small supplies of potable water can be obtained from sand lenses between the limestone beds.

In the outcrop of the Paluxy sand, potable water supplies are obtained from shallow dug wells. East of the outcrop the wells are drilled and are of small diameter. Water produced from this sand is used only for domestic and stock purposes, but at present the total withdrawal is larger than that from the Travis Peak formation. �ells that would yield large quantities of water for municipal, industrial, or irrigation supplies cannot be developed in the Paluxy sand in Parker County.

In the valley of the "Big Bend" of the Brazos River east of Dennis, small water supplies for domestic and stock purposes have been developed from the alluvium. Generally, these wells are either driven or bored, as the alluvium is unconsolidated and relatively thin.

The water used by the city of Weatherford is lifted from wells by deep-well turbine pumps powered with electric motors, and the water for domestic and stock supply �hat comes from wells is lifted by small cylinder pumps powered by hand or electric motor, jet pumps, windmills, or buckets.

Most of the wells in Parker County are not pumped at maximum capacity. The domestic pumps that are used limit the amount of water withdrawn to a maximum of, generally, 5 gallons a minute. Except in the Weatherford area, many more small supplies of water could be developed from the sands of the Trinity group.
