Ground water and the law - some selected annotated references
Robert C. Vorhis
1955, Open-File Report 55-184
The strictly "legal" literature of ground-water use and control -except for a few essays in certain of the law reviews- is quite limited. A larger and more pointful source of information and analysis is the legal-scientific writings of the geologists, hydrologists, meteorologists, engineers and others. When new statutes are to...

Water supplies for irrigation in the Northeast
C.H. Hardison, O. M. Hackett
1955, Open-File Report 55-57
The subject of this paper as given on the program is "Water Supplies for Irrigation in the Northeast." Both surface-water and ground-water resources are discussed, although with somewhat differing approaches. First we discuss the use of streamflow data in estimating the surface-water supplies available for irrigation use. Then we treat...
Ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction, Pinal County, Arizona
L.A. Heindl
1955, Open-File Report 55-63
The development of the San Manuel copper prospect has greatly increased traffic along State Highway 77. Considerable interest in commercial possibilities along that road has resulted in a request by the Arizona State Land Department for information about the ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction. This request came too...

J.O. Joerns
1955, Open-File Report 55-73
The purpose of this investigation was to study quantity, quality, and possible sources of the low flow and spring inflow of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River between the Lubbock sewage disposal plant, 3 miles southeast of Lubbock, and a County Road crossing about 15 miles downstream and...
Ground-water resources and geology of the Gila Bend and Dendora areas, Maricopa County, Arizona
P.W. Johnson, J.M. Cahill
1955, Open-File Report 55-75
The contemplated construction of an earth-fill flood-control dam on the Gila River in the vicinity of Gila Bend, Ariz., required a preliminary evaluation of the effects of such a structure upon the water supply of the area. The proposed dam would temporarily impound teh occasional floods that constitute the only...
Extending flood-frequency graphs by comparison with rainfall
W. B. Langbein
1955, Open-File Report 55-90
Flood discharge is the consequence of many contributing hydrologic events which may be presumed to occur fortuitously and independently, such that the probability of a given flood is the product of the probability of each independent contributing event. Of the many factors that lead to a flood, the two most...

Hydraulics of wells
Thad G. McLaughlin
1955, Open-File Report 55-104
Although the subject of this lecture is supposed to be concerned primarily with the hydraulics of wells, Professor Weers has asked that I also discuss the effects tat geological formations have on the quantity and quality of water available to wells. I will discuss the geology of Colorado in relation...
Ground-water and drainage problems in the Whitney terrace area, Boise, Idaho
S. W. West
1955, Open-File Report 55-192
Ground-water levels in the Whitney terrace area, after many years of rise owing to downward percolation of water from irrigated land, became nearly stabilized by 1935. Strong seasonal water-level fluctuations of 8 to 10 feet, however, are common in the Boise Valley. In recent years, the Whitney terrace has been...
The outlook for ground-water resources in Texas
R.W. Sundstrom
1955, Open-File Report 55-178
The future of ground-water supplies in Texas presents a problem that is very important to the economy of Texas and to the well-being of almost every citizen of the state. It is of particular importance to more than 580 municipalities using ground water as the sole source of water supply;...
Floods in North Carolina, frequency and magnitude
H. C. Riggs
1955, Open-File Report 55-151
Recorded annual flood stages and discharges at 144 gaging stations are listed. Also included are maximum known flood stages and discharges, both at gaging stations and at miscellaneous sites. Using the annual flood discharge at gaging stations a regional analysis of flood magnitudes and frequencies in the state was made....
