A report on the installation and performance of radial collector wells in Ohio River gravels was published in 1952. The report covered thirteen wells located in West Virginia. In view of the continued industrial expansion in the Ohio River Valley and the installation of additional collector wells along the river, this paper discusses a report that includes the wells installed since 1952 and updates information on the performance of the collector wells previously described. Production capacities, mineral content, redevelopment and maintenance, and navigation dams are all discussed.
