Fine Water Most Valuable Asset of City or Town
Investigations over years of Towns underground water resources are summarized in a new volume by the Town Geological Survey, author Prof. William H. Morton of Cornell College. He ranks underground water as Iowa’s top mineral resource by output and value, noting wells as the town’s most valuable mines. The report details water sources from lakes, impounding reservoirs, rivers, streams, and ground water, plus the role of sanitation, pollution controls, and health boards.
