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;...
Water levels in observation wells in part of Montana, 1946-1953
F. A. Swenson
1955, Open-File Report 55-180
Ground-water investigations were made by the Ground Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, from 1946 to 1954, inclusive, in several parts of Montana. These studies were made as part of the program of the Department of the Interior for development of the Missouri River Basin. Thus, the areas selected for...
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...

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...
Ground-water program in Alabama
P.E. LaMoreaux
1955, Open-File Report 55-87
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...
