Monthly evapo‐transpiration losses from natural drainage‐basin
Walter B. Langbein
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 604-614
With limited restrictions the hydrologic cycle in a given area may be expressed essentially as follows: P = (R + E + ΔFm) in which P represents the precipitation during a given period, R that portion which has reached or will reach the stream‐channel either through surface or subsurface paths,...
Recharge to ground‐water from floods in a typical desert wash, Pinal County, Arizona
H. M. Babcock, E. M. Cushing
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 49-56
Queen Creek, considered in this paper, is a typical large desert wash. It rises in the Pinal Mountains near the mining town of Superior and enters the outwash‐plain at Black Point about three miles north of Florence Junction (see Fig. 1). Thence it passes over the desert in a southwesterly...
Recharge and discharge of the ground‐water reservoirs on the High Plains in Texas
W. L. Broadhurst
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 9-15
The High Plains in Texas occupy an area of about 35,000 square miles extending from the northern boundary of the Panhandle southward about 300 miles, and from the New Mexico line eastward an average distance of about 120 miles to a boundary which in most places is sharply defined by...
Recharge, movement, and discharge in the Edwards Limestone Reservoir, Texas
A.N. Sayre, R.R. Bennett
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 19-27
The Edwards limestone of Lower Cretaceous age is the principal water‐bearing formation in a belt 5 to 25 miles wide that extends from Austin southwest to San Antonio and thence west through Uvalde and Del Rio to Comstock, a distance of about 250 miles (see Fig. 1). Throughout this belt...
Quality of stored water available for use in the lower basin of the Pecos River, Texas
C. S. Howard
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 593-598
Storage of water in reservoir s may be for (1) irrigation, (2) power‐generation sometimes in connection with releases for irrigation, (3) flood‐control, (4) recreation, or combinations of these four uses. The control of releases of the stored water may involve conflicts of interests as to the best use of the...
Report of Committee on Underground Waters, 1941–42
David G. Thompson
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 467-468
So many ground‐water hydrologists are engaged on problems relating directly to the war that the usual annual inquiry for information as to projects that deserve review in the annual report of the Committee on Underground Waters brought relatively little response. It is in part for this reason, but also in...
Sediment loads in the Moore Creek drainage‐basin, Idaho 1939–40
S. K. Love, Paul Charles Benedict
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 652-657
The Boise River Project in southwestern Idaho comprises an area of about 333,000 acres of highly developed agricultural land. Precipitation in the irrigated valley averages about ten inches a year which is too low to support any but desert vegetation. Water for irrigation during the growing season is obtained from...
Runoff in the Santa Ynez River Basin, California, following the excessive rainfall of 1940–41
G.A. LaRocque Jr.
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 124-129
This paper reports briefly on the runoff‐characteristics of the Santa Ynez River in Santa Barbara County, California, following the excessive rainfall in the winter of 1940–41; also, it contrasts these conditions of 1940–41 with earlier years of less rainfall. The data for this report were compiled in connection with an...
Ground‐water studies in the Southwest
O. E. Meinzer
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 6-9
Geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems that form the crust of the Earth. The groundwater geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems specifically because the open spaces which the rocks contain serve as reservoirs and conduits for water—water which performs a large part of the geologic work that is in progress...
Report of committee on the chemistry of natural waters, 1941–42
C. S. Howard
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 466-467
The membership of the Committee during the past year was as follows: I. A. Dennison, National Bureau of Standards; C S. Howard (Chairman), Geological Survey; C. S. Scofield, Department of Agriculture; D. G. Thompson, Geological Survey; and T. G. Thompson, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.SCOFIELD has continued his studies in...
Results of pumping tests of the Carrizo sand in the Lufkin area, Texas
W.F. Guyton
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 40-48
The Lufkin Area, as the term is used in this paper, is comprised of Angelina and Nacogdoches counties, Texas, and parts of adjoining counties. Its surface is gently rolling, with a maximum relief of about 150 feet and a maximum altitude of less than 400 feet. The average annual rainfall...

General geology and ground-water resources of the island of Maui, Hawaii
Harold T. Stearns, Gordon Andrew Macdonald
1942, Bulletin 7
Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian group, is 48 miles long, 26 miles wide, and covers 728 square miles. The principal town is Wailuku. Sugar cane and pineapples are the principal crops. Water is used chiefly for irrigating cane. The purpose of the investigation was to study the...
Summaries of yearly and flood flow relating to Iowa streams 1873-1940
Lawrence C. Crawford
1942, Water Supply Bulletin 1
As a result of the need for basic data and the lack of a current and convenient summary concerning the surface-water resources of Iowa, a synoptic inventory has been prepared as a part of the present State-wide program which is made possible by State and Federal cooperative action. These hydrologic...
Growth of the rock bass, Ambloplites rupestris (Rafinesque), in five lakes of northeastern Wisconsin
Ralph Hile
1942, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (71) 131-143
The forms of the growth curves of rock bass from four lakes in northeastern Wisconsin with medium-hard to hard water bore a general resemblance to each other, but differed sharply from the curve for rock bass from a lake with extremely soft water. With the exception of a slight increase...

Notes on Costia Necatrix
F. F. Fish
1941, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (70) 441-445
Costiasis, or the disease produced by the flagellated protozoan ectoparasite, Costia necatrix, is of considerable importance in the artificial propagation of both warm- and cold-water fishes. In spite of its importance, costiasis seldom is accurately diagnosed probably because of the extremely small size and sedentary nature of the causative organism....
