The value of geophysical methods in ground‐water studies
O. E. Meinzer
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 385-387
Two meanings are unfortunately given to the term geophysics. In the broad sense, based on the etymology of the term, geophysics means the physics of the Earth. This is its significance in the names “Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington,” “International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics,” and “American...
The mutual interference of artesian wells on Long Island, New York
R.M. Leggette
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 490-494
The withdrawal of water from a well necessarily produces a drop in water‐level in the well. The ground‐water level in the vicinity of the well from which the water is withdrawn likewise declines, but the amount of decline decreases with increasing distance from the well, so that a cone of...

Recent geologic studies on Long Island with respect to ground-water supplies
David Grosh Thompson, Francis Gerritt Wells, Horace Richard Blank
1937, Economic Geology (32) 451-470
Recent studies have shown that relatively impermeable clay beds are widespread on Long Island but that erosion channels cutting through them permit restricted recharge of the underlying beds in some parts of the island. Of the more than 200,000,000 gallons of water a day now pumped from wells, about 65...
Preliminary report on the North Atlantic deep‐sea cores taken by the Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution
W.H. Bradley, M. N. Bramlette, J.A. Cushman, L.G. Henbest, K.E. Lahman, P.D. Trask
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 224-226
A series, of 11 cores from the North Atlantic sea‐bottom between the Newfoundland Banks and the banks off the Irish Coast have been studied by a group of geologists of the United States Geological Survey. These cores were taken by Dr. C. S. Piggot of the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory...
Fifty-eighth annual report of the Director of the Geological Survey
Walter Curran Mendenhall
1937, Annual Report 58
During the fiscal year 1937 the Geological Survey continued its systematic work in investigating, mapping, and reporting on the geology, the mineral and water resources, and the physical features of the United States. The results of this work are basic in all conservational activities, as those who plan and direct...

Ground water investigations in Utah to June 30, 1936: A part of Chapter 8 in Twentieth biennial report of the State Engineer to the governor of Utah: 1935-1936
G.H. Taylor, H. E. Thomas
1936, Utah State Engineer Biennial Report 20-8
During the past few years of drouth the importance of ground-water supplies has become more fully appreciated. During this time, because of subnormal replenishment of the ground-water reservoirs and the increased withdrawals from wells, the ground-water levels have declined in most developed areas in the State, a condition which has...
Stream-gaging work: Section 2 of Chapter 6 in Twentieth biennial report of the State Engineer to the governor of Utah: 1935-1936
A.B. Purton
1936, Utah State Engineer Biennial Report 20-6
Stream gaging is primarily the work of collecting basic data relating to the surface-water supplies of the State. These records are used as the basis for all developments involving the use of water....
Withdrawal of ground water on Long Island, N.Y.

Supplementary report on the ground-water supplies of the Atlantic City region
Henry C. Barksdale, Raymond W. Sundstrom, Maurice S. Brunstein
1936, Special Report 6
This report is the second progress report on the ground-water investigations in the Atlantic City region. Many important problems still remain to be solved, however, and it is in no sense a final report. The report covers the area immediately surrounding Atlantic City, extending from Brigantine to Sea Isle City along...
