The significance and nature of the cone of depression in ground-water bodies
Charles V. Theis
1938, Economic Geology (33) 889-902
In nature the hydraulic system in an aquifer is in balance; the discharge is equal to the recharge and the water table or other piezometric surface is more or less fixed in position. Discharge by wells is a new discharge superimposed on the previous system. Before a new equilibrium can...
Sulphate minerals of the Comstock Lode, Nevada
C. Milton, W. D. Johnston Jr.

Ground‐water for air‐conditioning on Long Island, New York
R.M. Leggette, M.L. Brashears Jr.
1938, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (19) 412-418
During the last five years ground‐water has been more and more extensively used for air‐conditioning on Long Island, New York. The wide‐spread occurrence of highly permeable water‐bearing material and the relatively small cost of installation and operation of a ground‐water, air‐conditioning system has resulted in many such installations by theaters,...
