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 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...
