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).
