Water supplies for irrigation in the Northeast
C.H. Hardison, O. M. Hackett
1955, Open-File Report 55-57
The subject of this paper as given on the program is "Water Supplies for Irrigation in the Northeast." Both surface-water and ground-water resources are discussed, although with somewhat differing approaches. First we discuss the use of streamflow data in estimating the surface-water supplies available for irrigation use. Then we treat...

Prior to 1937, ground-water work in Oklahoma consisted of broad scale early-day reconnaissance and a few brief investigations of local areas. The reconnaissance is distinguished by C. N. Gould's "Geology and Water Resources of Oklahoma" (Water-Supply Paper 148, 1905), which covers about half of the present State of Oklahoma. Among...
Statement on ground water in Connecticut
R.V. Cushman
1955, Open-File Report 55-35
Connecticut has a supply of ground water, most of it of good quality, which is largely undeveloped, and much of which would lend itself to industrial and other uses. Ground water is available in small quantities in nearly all parts of the State, and in moderate to large quantities in...
