Geology and ground-water resources of the "Equus beds" area in south central Kansas
Stanley William Lohman, John Chapman Frye
1940, Economic Geology (35) 839-866
This paper summarizes the results of a detailed investigation by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas State Geological Survey, Kansas State Board of Health, and the City of Wichita. The geology of the area has been remapped, and several new formations have been established, including the...
Channel‐storage and unit‐hydrograph studies
W. B. Langbein
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 620-627
Recent studies of the rainfal‐and‐runoff relation tend towards treatment of the subject in two parts, namely, (1) the ground‐phase, which includes the study of such processes as infiltration and evaporation, and (2) the channel‐phase, which comprehends the study of the flow of water in the channel‐system with particular reference to...
Salinity of the lower Savannah River in relation to stream‐flow and tidal action
William L. Lamar
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 463-470
In order to obtain information needed in planning for industrial development along the Savannah River and in the city of Savannah, Georgia, a study of the salinity of the Savannah River was undertaken by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Georgia Division of...
On the flow of water in an elastic artesian aquifer
C. E. Jacob
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 574-586
Slichter showed in 1898 that a solution may be obtained for a given problem in the steady motion of ground‐water by solving the familiar Laplace equation and that therefore in steady‐state conditions a problem in the motion of ground‐water is mathematically analogous to a problem in the steady flow of...
A brief review of ground‐water conditions in Michigan
Charles L. McGuinness
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 1122-1126
The State of Michigan makes up about one‐half of the area of the great Michigan Synclinal Basin, the remainder of which embraces Lakes Michigan and Huron and small parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Ontario [see 1 (p. 7) of “References” at end of paper]. The Basin has characteristics...
The contamination of ground‐water by salt water near Parlin, New Jersey
H.C. Barksdale
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 471-474
The classic studies of Badon Ghyben [see 1 of “References” at end of paper] and Alexander Herzoerg [2].that defined the basic principles governing the relation between salt water and fresh water in water‐bearing sands are now fairly well known. They showed that fresh water floats on the heavier salt Water...
Ground‐water recharge in areas of deep water‐table in the Great Plains
R.C. Cady
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 570-574
It is unanimously agreed, I think, that of the water which falls upon the Earth's surface, a part runs off toward the sea, a part is at least temporarily detained, a part of it evaporates, and a part sinks beneath the ground‐surface. But among students of that water which sinks...
Ground‐water problems in Ohio, with special reference to the industrial area of Cincinnati in Butler and Hamilton counties
F.H. Klaer Jr.
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 1126-1131
The importance of ground‐water as a natural resource to be used for water‐supply and industrial purposes is often overlooked by the general public. A recent survey conducted by the Engineering News‐Record [see 1 of “References” at end of paper], based on data obtained from State Sanitary engineers, shows that 9,100...
Committee on chemistry of natural waters, 1939–40
C. S. Howard
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 369-370
The membership of this Committee is as follows: I. A. Dennison, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C.; C. S. Scofield, Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.; D. G. Thompson, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D.C.; Prof. T. G. Thompson, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington; and C. S....
Salt‐water intrusion in the Connecticut River
C. S. Howard
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 355-357
The intrusion of salt water in the lower Connecticut River Basin was studied during October 1, 1934, to June 30, 1939. The field‐ and laboratory‐work was done as a project of the Works Progress Administration under the sponsorship of the State Water Commission of the State of Connecticut. Some technical...

Francois E. Matthes
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 396-406
The Committee on Glaciers is now composed of the following members: Harry Fielding Reid, Professor Emeritus of Geology, Johns Hopkins University, 608 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, Maryland; William H. Hobbs, Professor Emeritus of Geology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Lawrence Martin, Chief of the Division of Maps, Library of Congress,...
Committee on underground waters, 1939–40
David Grosh Thompson
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 433-439

Ground-water resources of Kansas
R.C. Moore, S. W. Lohman, J.C. Frye, H.A. Waite, Thad G. McLaughlin, Bruce Latta
1940, Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin (1940) 1-112
Introduction: Water is a necessity of life. Accordingly, every person is deeply interested in the subject of water supply. He knows that he must have water to drink. He depends indirectly on water for all his food and clothing. He may want water in which to wash. Civilized man has...
Ground water in the Oklahoma Panhandle
S.L. Schoff
1940, Economic Geology (35) 534-545
An investigation begun in 1937 by the United States and the Oklahoma Geological Surveys, has shown that the depth to the water table in the Oklahoma Panhandle ranges from less than 25 feet in parts of major valleys to about 3oo feet in parts of the uplands. In 8 upland...
Geology and ground-water resources of the islands of Lanai and Kahoolawe, Hawaii

Ridge-making thin sandstone in Frederick County, Virginia: Chapter C
R.S. Edmundson
1939, Book chapter, Contributions to Virginia Geology--II
It is generally recognized that massive thick-bedded sandstones and relatively weak shales and soluble limestones form characteristic surface features. The uncommon effect of a thin argillaceous sandstone in producing ridges in an area in northern Virginia, in which the writer has recently done detailed field work, is briefly described in...
