20 BULLETIN 583, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
The flow of the well at the first site was approximately 1,200 
gallons in 24 hours. The consumption of water for bathing, accord- 
ing to meter measurement, was 15 gallons per man per day. The 
consumption for other purposes, estimated, also was 15 gallons. The 
flow, as will be seen from these figures, was approximately equal to 
the demand on the bathing days. That there was actually no reserve 
flow was shown by the fact that when, for a short period in the 
spring, the stock was watered from the well instead of from the 
neighboring creek from which they customarily were supplied, the 
draft was much too heavy for the supply. 
An analysis of the water made by the health department of Atlanta 
about a month after the opening of the camp showed that the water 
contained 46 bacteria per cubic centimeter and no colon bacilli in 
10 cubic centimeters, indicating that the sanitary quality of the water 
was satisfactory. 
The water was piped from the well (Pl. V, fig. 1) to the sleeping 
quarters, to supply the water-closets and wash trough, to the showers 
in the bath tent (Pl. V, fig. 2), to the kitchen, and to three outside 
faucets. It was forced from the well to the faucets by air pressure 
operating in a pneumatic pump installed in the well. The air was 
supplied to the pump from an air tank of 100 cubic feet capacity, in 
which it was stored by means of an air compressor driven by a 
22-horsepower gasoline engine. The cost of the water-supply equip- 
ment is given in Table 6, below:
