Alluvial deposits in the Red River Valley constitute a relatively undeveloped but potentially important aquifer in northwestern Louisiana. The alluvium is 75 to 150 feet thick in the thalweg of the entrenched valley. It consists of clay, silt, sand, and gravel; the sand and gravel constitute the lower half of the deposits.
Rapides Parish in central Louisiana possess abundant water resources. Ground water furnishes nearly all water supplies, but the resource has been developed to only a slight extent. Surface water is used little for domestic or industrial supplies but its use for irrigation is increasing.
Red River Parish, located in northwest Louisiana, is without an adequate supply of good quality water. This Environmental Impact Statement addresses alternatives which would produce a new source of water and a resulting increase in economy through new industry and residential growth. The alternatives discussed include: (1) withdrawal of water from the Red River and (2) a reservoir built on Grand Bayou near Coushatta, Red River Parish. A third alternative, no action, is also addressed.
