The occurrence of bedrock aquifers depends on the original composition of the geologic material and subsequent changes which influence the hydraulic properties. Post- Pennsylvanian -- Carbondale Group Aquifer System depositional processes, which promote jointing, fracturing, and solution activity of exposed bedrock, generally increase the hydraulic conductivity (permeability) of the upper portion of bedrock aquifer systems. Because permeability in many places is The Carbondale Group Aquifer System subcrops throughout much of Vigo County. The greatest near the bedrock surface, bedrock units within the upper 100 feet are commonly group consists in ascending order of the Linton, Petersburg, and Dugger Formations. the most productive aquifers. Bedrock deposits include mostly shale and sandstone with some limestone and commercially important coal. Thickness of the Carbondale Group in Vigo County ranges Bedrock aquifer systems in the county are overlain by unconsolidated deposits ranging up to 350 feet. from less than one foot up to150 feet thick. The unconsolidated sand and gravel outwash aquifers near the Wabash River have far greater groundwater potential than any of the Depth to the bedrock surface is typically from 25 to 75 feet and well depths generally bedrock aquifers. However, bedrock aquifers are widely used in Vigo County where range from 70 to 200 feet.
