Purpose	"A project was performed by the USGS, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and the Groundwater Protection Council, to describe arsenic-related water quality with depth in two wells. The project used the USGS well profiler to determine if zones yielding water with high arsenic concentrations could be identified. The role of the Groundwater Protection Council in this project was to describe and evaluate the geohydrology of the aquifers studied and incorporate the geochemical results from the USGS well profiler into a generalized decision tree for identifying appropriate well-rehabilitation techniques. If the results showed that large arsenic concentrations in the borehole were related to stratigraphic zones or sedimentary layering, the USGS technique could be considered an option for identifying well-rehabilitation strategies that are less expensive than drilling new production wells or water treatment at the well head. An additional objective was to collect well-head samples from production wells producing arsenic contaminated water. These data could then be used to better define the spatial distribution of arsenic and the geochemical processes controlling the presence of arsenic in selected aquifers."
