Stratigraphy of the area between Hernando and Hardee counties, Florida
Keith B. Ketner, Laurence J. McGreevy
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 524
Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Recent rocks are exposed between Hernando and Hardee Counties. Eocene and Oligocene formations are fossiliferous limestones but Miocene rocks are largely unconsolidated sands and clays in which fossils are scarce. Correlation of Miocene strata therefore is necessarily based mainly on lithology and stratigraphic position. Where rocks are altered...

Reconnaissance for uranium in asphalt-bearing rocks in the western states
William James Hail Jr.
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 559
An appraisal of asphalt-bearing rocks as potential sources of uranium was made during 1953 and 1954 by examining deposits in 45 areas in California, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. A total of 202 samples from these areas was analyzed for uranium. The oldest rocks sampled are...
Ground-water hydraulics - A summary of lectures presented by John G. Ferris at short courses conducted by the Ground Water Branch, part 1, Theory
D.B. Knowles
1955, Open-File Report 55-85
The objective of the Ground Water Branch is to evaluate the occurrence, availability, and quality of ground water. The science of ground-water hydrology is applied toward attaining that goal. Although many ground-water investigations are of a qualitative nature, quantitative studies are necessarily an integral component of the complete evaluation of...
Water levels in observation wells in part of Montana, 1946-1953
F. A. Swenson
1955, Open-File Report 55-180
Ground-water investigations were made by the Ground Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, from 1946 to 1954, inclusive, in several parts of Montana. These studies were made as part of the program of the Department of the Interior for development of the Missouri River Basin. Thus, the areas selected for...
Ground water and the law - some selected annotated references
Robert C. Vorhis
1955, Open-File Report 55-184
The strictly "legal" literature of ground-water use and control -except for a few essays in certain of the law reviews- is quite limited. A larger and more pointful source of information and analysis is the legal-scientific writings of the geologists, hydrologists, meteorologists, engineers and others. When new statutes are to...

Ground-water program in Alabama
P.E. LaMoreaux
1955, Open-File Report 55-87
Several recent years of drought have emphasized the importance of Alabama's ground-water supplies, a matter of concern to us all. So far we have been blessed in Alabama with ample ground-water, although a combination of increased use, waste, pollution, and drought has brought about critical local water shortages. These problems...
The outlook for ground-water resources in Texas
R.W. Sundstrom
1955, Open-File Report 55-178
The future of ground-water supplies in Texas presents a problem that is very important to the economy of Texas and to the well-being of almost every citizen of the state. It is of particular importance to more than 580 municipalities using ground water as the sole source of water supply;...
