SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON LABORATORY AND FIELD 

METHODS IN GROUND-WATER HYDROLOGY

By A. I. JOHNSON

INTRODUCTION

The science of ground-water hydrology is concerned with the evaluation both of the occurrence, availability, and quality of ground water 

and of the interrelationship between ground water and surface water. 

To accomplish such evaluation, this science requires the utilization of 

a wide variety of laboratory and field methods not only those unique 

to ground-water hydrology, but also those peculiar to such other scientific disciplines as mathematics, physics, soil mechanics, soil physics, 

geology, and hydraulics.

Studies of ground-water hydrology are advancing so rapidly that 

many scientists working in this field find it difficult to keep abreast of 

current literature. Young hydrologists just beginning to explore this 

scientific field can greatly benefit from some basic and advanced reports on methodology. Also, hydrologists from other countries who 

have received training in the United States have expressed interest in 

learning of such literature. Thus, this bibliography was prepared to 

make the references readily available to meet the needs discussed above.

Keferences are listed in alphabetical order under headings representing the main topic of the publication. This selection of references 

emphasizes papers and book reports from the United States, although 

it includes a few from other countries. It is by no means complete, as 

the literature on the subject is so extensive that an inordinate amount 

of time would be required to cover it all. This list should not be construed as representing the author's recommendation of the best literature on the subject; however, it should provide a ready guide to useful 

source material on various phases of methodology in ground-water 

hydrology.
