Abstract The build‐up of American military force in Vietnam has necessitated a massive well‐drilling program. Engineering investigations were carried on concurrently with drilling to evaluate various related water resources. Water quality problems including salt‐water encroachment existed in many areas. Between July 1966 and September 1967. 48 test holes and 233 successful 8 inch wells were drilled. The average producing well yielded 95 gpm.
