In 1941, the \"Association Francaise de Normalisation\" (French Association of Standardization) decided to create a Commission for the purpose of writing out a standard for building stones. When this Commission met under the chairmanship of Mr. Pol Abraham, Architect, they realized how far behind was our precise technical knowledge of this kind of material, and found the necessity of determining exactly the testing and acceptance methods. They expressed the wish that a careful study of the subject be entrusted to a specialized laboratory. This wish was received by the Ministry of Production, which, after an agreement with the competent organizing committees, entrusted our laboratory with this work. The main object was to establish the difficulty of stone-cutting in order to permit a classification of the stones according to the difficulty met when working them up into shape, to refer the other technical properties of the stones to this property, and finally to see what relation exists between the figures obtained.
To this end nine stones were chosen by the Commission, from the hardest to the softest: Hauteville, Comblanchien, spotted Larrys, yellow Massangis rock, Euville rock, fine-grained Lavoux, soft Maximin rock, \"banc royal\" Mery, and \"bane royal\" Billy. Each type of stone included three large blocks of 0.75 by 0.75 by 0.5 meters to be dressed by hand by specialized workmen, the difficulty of stone-cutting being determined by the time spent for the dressing and preparation of the surfaces. After this operation, detail of which will be given later, we had an important quantity of material which we were to use to the best advantage. I thought that it would be interesting to determine on each one the maximum of physical, chemical and mechanical tests in order not only to be able to compare them in precise conditions, but also to set up each sample as a standard intended for future studies. In other words, each element in the mentioned list must, in my mind, be able to serve in the future as reference to which we will compare the other kinds of calcareous stones used for building. As all the available material was not used, we were able to keep some as a reserve in case later comparisons would be necessary.

Data for dissolved solids, hardness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, and nitrate are summarized by aquifer and by county, and locations of wells where data are available are shown for each aquifer. Calcium, magnestium, and bicarbonate (the principal component of alkalinity) are the major dissolved constituents present in Wisconsin 's ground water. High iron concentrations and hardness cause ground-water-quality problems in much of the State. Statewide summaries of trace constituent (selected trace metals, arsenic, boron, and organic carbon) concentrations show that they impair water quality in only a few isolated wells. A bibliography of published reports that describe or summarize various aspects of ground-water quality in Wisconsin is included.

Among his early recorded efforts were reservoirs for muncipal water-supplies constructed near ancient Jerusalem to store water which was brought there in masonry conduits. 1/ Irrigation was practiced in Egypt as early as 2000 B. C. There the \"basin system\" was used from ancient times until the 19th century. The land was divided , into basins of approximately 40,000 acres, separated by earthen dikes. 2/ Flood waters of the Nile generally inundated the basins through canals, many of which were built by the Pharaohs. Even then the economic consequences of a deficient annual flood were recognized. Lake Maeris, which according to Herodotus was an ancient storage reservoir, is said to have had an area of 30,000 acres. In India, the British found at the time of their occupancy of the Presidency of Madras about 50,000 reservoirs for irrigation, many believed to be of ancient construction. 3/ During the period 115-130 A. D. reservoirs were built to improve the water-supply of Athens. Much has been written concerning the elaborate collection and distribution system built to supply Rome, and parts of it remain to this day as monuments to the engineering skill employed by the Romans in solving the problem of large-scale municipal water-supplies.

Differences in weather and climate combine with differences in topography and geology to produce large differences in runoff from time to time and from place to place in the basin. The average annual runoff ranges from a fraction of an inch for some drainage areas to more than 40 inches for a few small ungaged areas at high elevations. For some drainage areas the maximum annual discharge is 10 to 20 times the minimum.
The amounts and distribution of runoff and discharge throughout a drainage basin are essential parts of any study of the water resources of that basin. Discharge records at gaging stations are only spot samples of surface-water resources and require interpretation in order to furnish a general knowledge of the amounts and distribution of runoff and discharge. Such a knowledge is necessary to an adequate understanding of the water resources of the drainage basin. This report contains maps that show for the Missouri River Basin. Representative average rates of discharge, the distribution of the average discharge by months for several gaging stations. representative annual runoff, and minimum annual runoff. These maps are supplemented by explanations and comments and by charts that show the development of irrigation by drainage areas and by States.
