Thomas B. Nolan
1943, Professional Paper 197-D
In this report an attempt has been made to summarize and in places to interpret the published information that was available through 1938 on the geology of those parts of Nevada, California, and Utah that are included in the geologic province known as the Basin and Range province. This region...

A frequency‐method of evaluating ground‐water levels
Lyman C. Huff
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 573-580
Water‐levels in wells, which are utilized by the hydrologist as a measure of ground‐water storage, customarily are measured in terms of distance below a convenient measuring point and expressed with reference to a fixed datum. Datum‐planes or surfaces of several types have been used—each serving some particular purpose advantageously. These...
Correlation of ground‐water levels and precipitation on Long Island, New York
C. E. Jacob
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 564-573
Long Island simulates in a general way an aquifer in the form of an infinite strip confined between parallel boundaries at constant head (sea‐level), over which recharge precipitation is assumedly uniform. The non‐steady flow of water in this idealized system is analyzed assuming provisionally that the effective thickness of saturated...
A method for determining transmissibility‐ and storage‐coefficients by tests of multiple well‐systems
Leland K. Wenzel, A.L. Greenlee
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 547-564
Ground‐water has long been recognized as one of our important natural resources, but only in about the last 20 years has concentrated effort been made to place ground‐water hydrology on a quantitative basis. The quantitative approach to ground‐water work has been brought about largely through the leadership of O. E....

The Committee on Runoff was not formally constituted until February 6, 1943, when the members of the Section, as listed above, were asked to serve. At the suggestion of President CHURCH the Committee has been so selected that there is Nation‐wide geographic distribution from West to East with the majority...
Appendix B—The work of the Geological Survey and cooperating state agencies on ground water for war purposes
O. E. Meinzer
1943, Article
The very large service which the geologists and engineers trained in ground‐water hydrology are rendering in this country in the prosecution of the war is due largely to the effective organization for this purpose. The Federal agency in which this service centers is the Water Resources Branch of the United...

The Lompoc Plain is the central lowland of a topographic and structural basin that forms the western and lower part of the Santa Ynes Valley in Santa Barbara County, California. It extends inland about 11 miles from the coast and is 1 mile fto about 3 miles wide....
Notes on the early history of water-well drilling in the United States
C.W. Carlston

The standard cable-tool drilling rig was invented and developed in drilling salt wells in the West Virginia-Ohio-Pennsylvania region during the twenty years following the successful completion of the first drilled well in 1808 by the Ruffnet brothers at the Great Buffalo Lick near Charleston, West Virginia. Some time previous to...

Determination of small amounts of molybdenum in tungsten and molybdenum ores
F. S. Grimaldi, R. C. Wells
1943, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (15) 315-316
A rapid method has been developed for the determination of small amounts of molybdenum in tungsten and molybdenum ores. After removing iron and other major constituents the molybdenum thiocyanate color is developed in water-acetone solutions, using ammonium citrate to eliminate the interference of tungsten. Comparison is made by titrating a...

1943, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (72) 108-135
Reighard's chub has come to be one of the most important species of the group since the serious decline in abundance of the larger representatives of the genus Leucichthys in Lake Michigan. An understanding of the biology of as many species of chubs as possible is essential if further...
