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;...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ground-water hydraulics - A summary of lectures presented by John G. Ferris at short courses conducted by the Ground Water Branch, part 1, Theory
D.B. Knowles
1955, Open-File Report 55-85
The objective of the Ground Water Branch is to evaluate the occurrence, availability, and quality of ground water. The science of ground-water hydrology is applied toward attaining that goal. Although many ground-water investigations are of a qualitative nature, quantitative studies are necessarily an integral component of the complete evaluation of...

Several recent years of drought have emphasized the importance of Alabama's ground-water supplies, a matter of concern to us all. So far we have been blessed in Alabama with ample ground-water, although a combination of increased use, waste, pollution, and drought has brought about critical local water shortages. These problems...
