Abstract
During the severe droughts of recent years almost the only water‐supplies available throughout large areas of the United States have been those obtained from underground sources. Consequently, a great interest has developed in the ground‐water resources of the country and there has been much concern lest the declining water‐levels in wells and the diminished flow of springs may be warnings of the ultimate exhaustion of our ground‐water supplies. As is well known, the United States Geological Survey has for half a century conducted investigations of the ground‐water of the country and numerous investigations have been made by State geological surveys and other agencies. However, the time is now ripe for a coordinated, continuing program to obtain systematic records of water‐levels in observation‐wells and correlative records of natural discharge and artificial withdrawals of ground‐water.
