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...

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...

Lynn Crandall
1955, Open-File Report 55-32
With Palisades reservoir in operation there will be many years when the available water supply on Snake River above Milner will be fully utilized by storage in the then existing reservoirs under their established priority rights.

Ground water investigations in Oklahoma
Leon V. Davis
1955, Open-File Report 55-36
Prior to 1937, ground-water work in Oklahoma consisted of broad scale early-day reconnaissance and a few brief investigations of local areas. The reconnaissance is distinguished by C. N. Gould's "Geology and Water Resources of Oklahoma" (Water-Supply Paper 148, 1905), which covers about half of the present State of Oklahoma. Among...
Statement on ground water in Connecticut
R.V. Cushman
1955, Open-File Report 55-35
Connecticut has a supply of ground water, most of it of good quality, which is largely undeveloped, and much of which would lend itself to industrial and other uses. Ground water is available in small quantities in nearly all parts of the State, and in moderate to large quantities in...

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 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...
