Excerpt from McGill University, Vol. 14: Papers From the Department of Geology, No. 21. the Artesian and Other Deep Wells on the Island of Montreal It is also of great importance to ascertain, if possible, whether any definite water bearing horizon or horizons exist in the subjacent strata. If there be such water-bearing horizons, it is of the greatest impor tance to ascertain their depth below the surface in various parts of the area, since, knowing this, it would be possible to determine where and at what depth one could rely on obtaining water by boring. Work of this kind in many other districts, as is well known, has resulted in the discovery and development of water supplies of great extent and of ia estimable value. If, on the other hand, definite water-bearing horizons prove to be absent, much may be learned from the geological structure of the area with regard to the general probability of securing water by drilling.
