INTRODUCTION

The work of the Geological Survey includes investigations of 

the natural water of the United States, both that which occurs 

above and that which occurs below the land surface. The wa ter below the surface1 is known as subsurface, subterranean, underground, or ground water. According to the present usage of the 

Geological Survey the water that occurs below the surface in zones 

of saturation is called ground water; this is the water that is recovered through wells and springs. It is to this water that the 

present bibliography applies.

In 1885 the Geological Survey published a paper by T. C. 

Chamberlin entitled "The requisite and qualifying conditions of 

artesian wells." Aside from this well-known paper it published 

practically nothing on the subject of ground water during t^e first 

10 years after its organization in 1879 except "Lists and analyses 

of mineral springs," by A. C. Peale; annual statistics on tlie production of mineral water, by'A. C. Peale; and papers on the hot 

springs of Yellowstone National Park, by W.,H. Weed and by F. A. 

Gooch and J. E. Whitfield.

In 1888, by act of Congress, the Geological Survey undertook 

irrigation investigations in the arid regions of the United States, 

which soon led to the problem of irrigation with artesian water. 

The Eleventh Annual Report, published in 1891, contains a section on artesian irrigation.on the Great Plains and records of wells 

in seven western States. In the Thirteenth Annual .Report, published in 1893, there is a discussion by F. H. Newell on the occurrence and quantity of ground water in arid regions, with statistics 

on'artesian wells and irrigation with well water in the United 

States. The need for more detailed information on the ground 

water of the country became evident and resulted in a nunber of 

investigations. The first report dealing exclusively with eastern 

conditions was a paper by W J McGee entitled "Potable wf.ters of 

eastern United States," published in 1893.

In 1895 Congress made the first of the annual "Stream gaging" appropriations, which include provision for "the investigation 

of underground currents and artesian wells." Systematic surveys 

of the ground-water resources of the United Statef were begun 

soon after the enactment of the first of these appropriations. In 

1903 the Division of Hydrology was organized to conduct the 

ground-water work. It was a division in the Hydrogrr.phic Branch. 

N. H. Darton was placed in charge of the work in the West and 

M. L. Fuller\n charge of the work in the East. In 1906 the Hydrographic Branch became the Water Resources Branch, and the 

Division of Hydrology became the Ground Water Division. From 

1908 to 1912 the Ground Water Division was in charge of W. C. 

Mendenhall, and from July 1,1912, to December 1, 1946, it was in 

charge of 0. E. Meinzer. Since that time it has beer in charge of 

A. N. Sayre.

In 1905 a paper entitled "Bibliographic review and index of 

papers relating to underground waters published by the United 

States Geological Survey, 1879-1904," by M. L. Fuller, was issued 

as Water-Supply Paper 120.

In 1918 a more extensive compilation entitled "Bibliography 

and index of the publications of the United States Geological Survey relating to ground water," by 0. E. Meinzer, ^as issued as 

Water-Supply Paper 427. Like Fuller's bibliography, this includes for each paper listed a brief abstract or notation of its references to ground water. At the time this bibliography was issued 

a total of 609 papers containing information on the subject of 

ground water had been published by the Geological Survey in 454 

volumes. Of these, 307 papers, in 171 volumes, relate primarily to 

that subject.

Since 1918 there has been a progressive increase in the funds 

annually made available for ground-water investigations and a 

corresponding improvement in the quality of the technical work 

done. The demand came first from the States, which supplied 

funds for cooperation. Since 1929 Congress has recognized these 

needs by making increased appropriations but has restricte4 the 

major part of the funds for cooperation with State and municipal 

governments.

The present volume lists a total of 1,777 papers, ineluding all 

listed in Water-Supply Paper 427 and 1,168 additional papers issued through January 1946. It is therefore in effect a second edition 

of the 1918 bibliography. Most of the additional papers are based 

on work done in cooperation with State geological rurveys, State 

engineer offices, and other State agencies concerned with water

resources. The present volume contains the titles of 919 

tions of the Geological Survey, about half of which relate primarily to ground water. It also includes the titles of 276 cooperative 

ground-water reports published by the various States, the Territory of Hawaii, and the Governments of Antigua and Haiti ; 209 

short reports on ground water, reproduced by the Geological Survey by mimeographing or other duplicating process; and 373 

articles relating to ground water written by members of the Geological Survey and published in various scientific, technical, and 

trade journals.

The preparation of this volume was supervised by 0. E. Meinzer. Abstracts of the water-supply papers that contain inf ormation on ground water from Nos. 427 to 640, inclusive, were prepared by K. E. Anderson; abstracts of bulletins that contain 

ground-water information from Nos. 661 to 900, inclusive, were 

prepared by C. L. McGuinness ; and abstracts of a numbe^ of reports issued during 1942-45 were prepared by Miss J. M. Berdan. 

Nearly all the other abstracts of publications by the Geological 

Survey issued since 1918 and abstracts of the reports published by 

cooperating agencies, duplicated reports, and journal artic^s were 

prepared by G. A. Waring, who also prepared the index vith the 

help of C. B. Jacob.

Artesian water in Somervell County is derived largely from two aquifers of the 

"basal sands" of the Trinity group occurring at Glen Rose at depths of 100 to 135 

feet and 275 to 300 feec, respectively. The draft from the artesian reservoir during 

the summer is estimated at 1,000,000 gallons a day, which include? 360,000 gallons 

a day of waste but not underground waste. Artesian head has* declined generally 

throughout the county and continues at a slow rate. The report recommends adoption of a policy of conservation and further investigation of underground leakage 

from wells.

Describes the geography and geology of the Snake River Plain above King Hill, 

Idaho, and gives data on the source, movement, and disposal of the ground-water 

 supply of the Snake River basin, which is estimated at 4,000,000 acre-feet. Only a 

small part of this is utilized for irrigation. Recommends that future irrigation 

development be confined as far as practicable to the southeast side of Snake River 

above Milner, so that seepage water may return to a sbretch of the river where 

it will be available for reuse. Contains a contour map of the water table.

The county is in the Coastal Plain, which for the most part is low and featureless. Between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande the plain is interrupted by an 

erosion remnant, the Reynosa Plateau, which reaches a maximum altitude of nearly 

1,000 feet. The streams that cross the area flow only during and immediately after 

periods of heavy rainfall. The report describes the stratigraphy and structure of 

the area, with particular regard to ground water, and presents detailed data on 

water supplies from wells. "

Lonsdale and J. R. Day. 1937. v, 104 pp., 12 pis.

The exposed rock formations are of Tertiary and Quaternary ages. The Carrizo 

sand in the northwest yields potable water. The Cook Mountain formation supplies 

water for domestic use and some irrigation .and yields flowing wells in parts of 

northeastern Webb County, but that water is too highly mineralized to use for 

irrigation. The Catahoula tuff yields water for domestic and industriil use and 

some irrigation but is in general highly mineralized. The Goliad sand y'^lds water 

for domestic and stock uses in the southeast part of the county but is variable in 

quantity and quality.

pumping method, the velocity method, the sampler method, and the electric conductivity method.

(d) Geology and ground-water resources of Ogden Valley, Utah, by R. M. Leggette 

and G. H. Taylor. 1937. pp. i-iv, 99-161, pis. 35-40. Ogden Valley is a trough, 

bounded on the east and west by faults and containing more than 600 feet of stream 

and lake deposits, including 70 feet of varved clay. Shallow wells encounter watertable conditions; those which pass through the clay encounter wr.ter under artesian 

pressure. The water level fluctuates 2 to 30 feet during the year. The city of Ogden 

is supplied by 48 artesian wells, whose discharge in 1933-34 ranged from 12.9 to 20.5 

second-feet. See also Cooperative report 424.

(e) Ground water in Avra-Altar Valley, Ariz., by D. A. Andrews. 1937. pp. i-ii, 

163-180, pis. 41-44. Avra-Altar Valley is in southeastern Arizona, about "30 miles 

west of Tucson. Water for domestic and stock use is 'obtained in the lower alluvial 

lands at 150 to 350 feet. A few wells on the higher alluvial slopes reach water 

at 550 "to 800 feet. In most places the water is of good quality, but in a few places 

where reeks of Cretaceous age are penetrated the water is highly mineral'ssed. Gives 

analyses of 26 samples of well water.

pp., 8 pis.

Seven groups of warm springs are known in Georgia, but popular interest centers 

in Warm Springs, in the west-central part of the 'State, which is, improved for use 

by the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation. The several warm sp'-ings are confined 

to a belt of pre-Cambrian metamorphic rocks, and all of them issue from the Hollis 

quartzite. The data collected show that the water of Warm Springs is that which 

falls on the crest of Pine Mountain and is carried in the Hollis q lartzite to a depth 

of about 3,000 feet so that it absorbs heat from the rocks and is delivered at the 

surface with a temperature of 88° F.

16-21. Declines in water levels in many parts of the United States have been local 

and due to overdevelopment. Over large areas declines have be?n caused chiefly or 

 wholly by deficient rainfall. Water levels will probably recover in years of normal 

precipitation. At Grand Island, Nebr., local overdevelopment has taken place. The 

solution to the difficulty lies in redistributing the wells in such a1-manner that less 

water will be pumped within the city and more will be pumpec1 from wells outside 

the city limits.

The principal ground-water supplies are in the low central part of the basin, 

which comprises alluvial plains, playas and lake beds, cinder cones, and lava.flelds. 

Both shallow water and deep artesian water occur in the Quaternary valley fill. 

Water also is present in pervious parts of the bedrock in three temperature ranges 

 slightly thermal, intermediate, and hot. The slightly thermal water occurs in wells 

In the north part of the basin; water of intermediate temperature issues from 

springs and flowing wells in the west half of the basin; and hot wate" issues from 

. - several widely scattered springs. The report contains climatic and surface-water 

data; records of several hundred wells, including logs of about 20 wellr and records 

of - water-level measurements in more than 100 wells during 1928-32; d vta on about

, , -plain at the north end of Fiathead Lake, where Fiathead River enters it. The

ground-water level rises and falls in response to the annual change of rtag* of the

river and lake. It 'has been proposed to regulate the level of the lake so that a

higher stage may be maintained for a longer time. If this is done a rise of the

water table will probably take place. S^me land will thereby be rendered unfit for

agriculture, but most of the land will be unaffected by the rise.

2. Ground water in the Paleozoic rocks of northern Alabama, by W. D. Johnston, Jr., with analyses by M. D. Foster and C. S. Howard. Alabama 

Geol. Survey Special Kept. No. 16, University, Ala., 1933. 414 pp., 

23 pis.

Gives a brief discussion of the climate, an outline of the geobgy, and a description of the physiography. Discusses ground water in the several kinds of rocks and 

describes in detail the limestone caves in the several counties and1 the various waterbearing formations. Discusses the relation of ground water tc structure, ground 

water in mines, and the chemical character of natural waters. A description by 

counties occupies the latter part of the report (pp. 135-345) an1? is followed by 23 

photographs, chiefly of caves and springs.

3. Fluoride in the ground water of the Cretaceous area of Alabama, by C. W. 

Carlston. Alabama Geol. Survey Bull. 52, University, Ala., 1942. 67 

pp., 1 pi.

States that most of the water containing harmful amounts of fluoride is derived 

from the Butaw formation and that this water is generally very low in total hardness 

and high in bicarbonate content. Says that it is generally possible to obtain water 

of low fluoride content by drilling to an underlying formation, or, in some places, 

by the use of water from shallow wells.

4. Ground-water resources- of the Cretaceous area of Alabama, by C. W. Carlston. Alabama Qeol. Survey Special Rept. 18, University, Ala., 1944. 

203 pp., 6 pis.

Describes ground-water conditions in a belt about 50 miles wide, extending northwest-southeast across the State. Discusses the several water-bearing formations, quality of the water, and the several methods of well construction that are used and 

contains description of the ground-water supplies for 20 countiet.

99. Geology and ground-water resources of the Island of Maui, Hawaii, by H. 

T. Stearns and G- A. Macdonald. Hawaii Dept. Public Lands, Div. 

Hydrography Bull. 7, Honolulu, T. H., 1942. 344 pps., 44 pis.

The report is divided into Part 1, General geology and ground-water resources of 

Maui (pp. 1-222) ; Part 2, Geology and ground-water resources of the Nahiku area, 

east Maui (pp. 22-274) ; and Part 3, Petrography of Maui (pp. 275-335). Maul is 

composed of two eroded volcanoes and covers 728 square miles. Tve lava rocks - in 

east Maui are divided into the Honomanu, Kula, and Hana volcanic series, and 

in west Maui into the Wailuku and Lahaina volcanic series. The sedimentary rocks 

consist of alluvium, calcareous dunes, and a mud flow. The Honomanu, Wailuku, 

and Kula lavas are the chief aquifers. They supply 28 irrigation wells, which yieW 

an average of 170 million gallons a day of basal water. These wells are minelike 

shafts with infiltration tunnels and »are called Maui-type wells. Well "16 yields 

40,000,000 gallons daily with a 2%-foot drawdown, which is the largest amount 

yielded by any well in the Hawaiian Islands. The largest spring (No. 26) on 

the island is artesian. It yields 10,400,000 gallons daily and issues from Kula 

lavas near Nahiku. West Maui has numerous perennial strerms supplied by 

springs from a dike complex. Twenty-three tunnels in west Maui recover 20.5 

million gallons a day of high-level water, mostly from this dike complex. East 

Maui has few perennial streams in proportion to its size, and they are chiefly 

small, owing to the water sheds being underlain with permeable IE vas. Forty tunnels recover a million gallons a day of high-level water in east Maui and all from 

structures other than dikes.

It is estimated that about 100 million gallons a' day of basal water wastes into 

the sea from west Maui and about 700 million gallons a day from east Maui. 

Describes a number of sites where wells could be sunk to recover this water. Also 

describes sites where tunnels could be driven to recover high-level supplies. The 

hydrology of east and west Maui is conspicuously different in many respects, 

mainly because of the difference in the stage of dissection, the extensive veneer 

of very permeable Hana lavas on east Maui, and the comparatively small area 

of the Lahaina lavas of similar age on west Maui. The only thermal water known 

in the Hawaiian Islands, except on the active volcano of Kilauab, is in a well in 

west Maui.

The report includes a geologic and topographic map of Maui (scale 1:62,500) 

showing wells, tunnels, springs, irrigation ditches, and reservoirs.

to the Platte River Valley between Chapman and Gothenburg, by L. 

K. Wenzel and A. L. Lugn. Sept. 16, 1935. 2 pp.

Nearly all water supplies of the area are from wells. It is estr-nated that the 

pumpage for municipal, irrigation, and other uses is about 30,000 z-cre-feet a year 

and that about 56,000 acre-feet a year percolates southward under the upland and 

reappears in the tributaries of Republican and Blue Rivers. With the return of 

normal years of precipitation there will be restoration of the ground-water supply.

, tions in small areas. See also Water-Supply Paper 836 b.

86. Ground-water levels in Utah, by G. H. Taylor and H. E. Thomas. Mar, 

11,1937. 1 p.

The general rise in ground-water levels in Utah in 1936 indicates that recharge 

to ground-water basins, most of which are artesian, has been greater than the discharge. This has been caused in part by increased precipitation and in part by the 

adoption of conservation measures that limit the amount of water wasted from 

artesian wells. See also Water-Supply Paper 817.

the average daily consumption of water being about 280,000,000 gallons.' About twothirds is from the Thames River, one-sixth from the Lee River, and one-sixth from 

wells that obtain most of their water from the Cretaceous chall formation. In 

the central part of London the ground-water level has declined greatly in recent 

years, owing to the great draft by wells.

90. Artesian-water levels and interference between artesian wells in the 

vicinity of Lehi, Utah, by G. H. Taylor and H. E. Thomas. July 22, 

1937. 2 pp.

In the vicinity of Lehi, Utah, artesian water is obtained from two horizons, at 

depths of 130 to 200 feet and at 200 to 400 feet. During 1936, because of decreased 

irrigation due to a rainy growing season and closer control of flowing wells to 

prevent waste of water, the ground-water level rose 5 to 10 feet. A series of tests 

show that wells tn the same horizon cause interference with each other but do not 

affect wells of a different horizon. See also Water-Supply Paper S36 c.

Science, new ser., vol. 19, No. 490, Lancaster, Pa., May 20, 1904. pp. 

795-796.

The deep zone of flow and the surface zone are essentially continuous. The head 

depends not on dip of the strata but on the curved nature of the ground-water table. 

The dip of the strata is therefore immaterial, and flows in many ca^es are produced 

against 'or up the dip. The slope of the ground-water table is so precipitous at the 

heads of many of the deep reentrant bays on* the north shore tf at a slight difference in permeability is sufficient to determine an artesian horizon.

16. The interpretation of, water analyses by the geologist, by G. S. Rogers. 

Econ. Geol., vol. 12, No. 1, January 1917. pp. 56-88.

Palmer's method of stating and interpreting water analyses is shown to be based 

on the principle that natural waters are balanced chemical systens having definite 

properties. These properties are shown to summarize composition, to furnish a 

convenient basis for preliminary comparison and study, and to afford a measure 

of the potency of the water as a geologic agent. Contains analyse^ of various types 

. of natural water.

17. The evaporation of water at depth by natural gases, by B van A. Mills 

and B. C. Wells. Abstr. in Washington Acad. Sri. Jo^r., vol. 7, No. 

10, May 19, 1917. pp. 309-310.

Water associated with petroleum - and natural gas is subject to concentration of 

the - dissolved constituents incident to the extraction of the hydrocarbons through 

wells. This concentration is brought about by evaporation of the water in the 

 expanding gas incident to its withdrawal. Also, during geologic time, connate 

water has been evaporated by escaping gases, thus contributing toward the formation of highly concentrated oil-field and gas-field brines. See also Bulletin 693.

18. The absence of water in certain sandstones of the Appalachian oil fields, 

by Frank Reeves. Econ. Geol., vol. 12, No. 4, June 1917. pp. 354-378.

Presents evidence that indicates that the sandstones were dried out soon after 

deposition. The facts do not show that there is a disappearance of water with 

depth. The brines of deep-seated sedimentary strata are thought to be connate.

19. Origin of the natural brines of oil fields, by Frank Reeves. Johns Hopkins 

Univ. Circ., vol. 36, No. 293, Baltimore, Md., 1917. pp 57-68.

Submits evidence based on a study of brines in southwest Pennsylvania and West 

Virginia to show their probable connate origin. Their presence prevented lateral 

and vertical entrance of other water, and their chemical analyses not only shows 

greater - similarity to ocean water than to surface water, but also the distribution 

of chemical constituents is more accurately explained by connate origin.

20. Some instances of flowing wells on anticlines, by F. G. Oop. Science, 

new ser., vol. 32, No. 814, Aug. 5, 1910, pp. 189-190; ab^tr. in G. S. A.

Describes flows from several unproductive oil wells on two anticlines in the northern Appalachian region. In Pleasants County, W. Va., the flowing wells are on a 

saddle of an anticlinal crest, the pressure being transmitted fr-om water-bearing 

formations in the domes. On a flank of the Frederickstown anticline in Beaver 

County, Pa., the water comes from depths of less than 100 fee';, and the head is 

due to pressure transmitted from more superficial formations in nearby hills.

and Agr. Soc. Joint Conf. Proc. (1918-19), Boise, Idaho, 1919. pp. 

146-150.

Numerous springs along Snake River Canyon between Hilner and King Hill discharge more than 5,000 second-feet of water. The springs iss^e 80 to 150 feet 

above the river. Gives discharge measurements on the springs in 1902 and 1917-18. 

"The flow is usually minimum during March and April and maximum during 

September and October." Discusses probable source of the wate~ and its potential 

use for irrigation.

..23. Some oil-field waters of the Gulf Coast, by G. S. Rogerf*: A. A. P. G. 

Bull., vol. 3, 1919. pp. 310-331.

Difference? in character and concentration of waters occurring in various horizons 

with regard to salt domes are believed to be sufficiently marked and regular to 

permit the use of analyses in estimating the position of a water and probably also 

in locating deeply buried salt domes.

25. Geysers of Yellowstone National Park, by N. H. Darton. GeoHgische 

Charakterbilder, Heft 23 (quarto), Berlin, 1920. 8 pp., 6 pis.

"It has been estimated that there are more than 4,000 hot springs in the park, 

not counting many steaming fissures, and about 100 geysers. It is difficult to 

make distinction between a hot spring and a geyser, for many of the springs boil 

for long periods and erupt occasionally or even only once ... It has been 

suggested that radioactivity might cause some of the hydrothermal action in the 

Yellowstone Park, but special investigations have shown that the emanations were 

too weak to be a .material factor." Describes Hells Half Acre, Castle Geyser, 

Excelsior Geyser, Lone Star Geyser, Old Faithful Geyser, and Foundatior Geyser.

_June 1925. pp. 37T--378.

Abstract of a paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Association tor the Advancement of Science, December 1924. The Dakota sandstone forms 

the most remarkable artesian basin in the United States -with respect to its great 

extent, the long distance through which the water must percolate from the outcrops 

of the formation, and especially the tremendous pressure under -which the -water 

in the sandstone was originally held by its thick and continuous cover of impermeable .shales. The decline in pressure and flow, after the drilling of more than 16,000 

wells, has been great. See also Water-Supply Paper 520 e.

Abstr. in Pan-Am. Geologist, vol. 45, No. 2, March 1926, p. 162.

The water supply for Atlantic City and nearby resorts is obtained largely from 

Miocene sand below 300 feet of clay. The sand is reached at about 800 feet at 

Atlantic City and somewhat deeper southward. During the past 30 years, owing 

to heavy pumping, the static head has dropped more than 80 feet. The head -will 

drop farther as the draft becomes greater until the limit of economic pumping is 

reached. The danger of drawing salt water into the wells is a factor to be considered.

is reduced. The artesian water supports a part of the load of the overlying rocks, 

and the aquifers contract when the artesian pressure is decreased and expand when 

it is increased.

Tennessee Acad. Sci. Jour., vol. 3, No. 3, Nashville, Tenn., July 1928. 

pp. 3-9. .

A spring 3.8 miles northeast of Bogersville forms part of the water supply of a 

dairy. During periods of about 1 hour the flow changes from a riihimum of 10 

gallons a minute to a maximum of 50 gallons a minute. The period between maximum discharges is locally said to be 2 hours 40 minutes. Describes the geology 

of the area. A cross section showing hypothetical caverns in liraeg+oas illustrates 

the probable cause of variation in flow, which is siphon action.

deepest part of the geosyncline and may be connate water that ha<? not been 

flushed out of the beds by meteoric water. The lines of equal artesirn head, as 

drawn by Darton, are essentially parallel to the structure contours. Adequate interpretation of the hydraulic profile is impossible, because the effects of unequal draft 

and the rate of decline in head have not been fully evaluated.

Bryan. Ecology, vol. 9, No. 4, Brooklyn, N. Y., October 1928. pp. 

474-478.

. ' - Examples are given where rapid deepening of stream beds had occurred, partly 

as the result oj loss o.f vegetation by overgrazing but probably also ir part as a 

result of change to drier climate. With deepening of the stream beds the groundwater level has been lowered, and areas formerly covered with phreatorhytes, such 

as sacaton, willow, and cottonwood, are now inhabited only by plants that do not 

depend upon ground water or by mesquite, which can send its roots to considerable 

depth to reach water.

The data on artesian head in the Dakota sandstone, presented I" N. H. Darton, 

were collected in different years and have different degrees of reliability. The 

discharge of large quantities of water from the Dakota sandstone has caused loss 

of head over large areas. Darton's map of the piezometric surfrce probably does 

not represent the condition before the formation was tapped. Facts advanced by 

W. L. Russell to support his theory that the artesian pressure is due primarily 

to weight of the overlying rocks may be explained in other ways.

115. The transmission of pressure in artesian aquifers, by R. M. Leggette and 

G. H. Taylor. A. G. U. Trans., June 1934. pp. 409-413.

Describes field tests in Dtah to determine the rate at which changes in pressure 

are transmitted in artesian aquifers and the distance to which such charges extend. 

The transmission of pressure is not always rapid; the rate appears t*» be determined largely by the distance traversed and the magnitude of the changes of 

pressure.

News-Record, vol. 113, No. 6, Aug. 9,1934. pp. 167-169.

Describes successful efforts to conserve artesian water supplies in th« Honolulu, 

Hawaii, and Roswell, N. Mex., artesian basins. Effective programs of conservation 

must include hydrologie study and investigation of mechanical difficulties, a program 

of education, and a legislative plan with provision for enforcement. Legal control 

relates to proper construction and operation of wells and equitable distribution of 

the water. Recommends the doctrine of prior appropriation for benefmal we as 

against the doctrines of unrestricted use and correlative rights.

News-Record, vol. 113, No. 16, Oct. 18, 1934. pp. 495-4^8.

An interpretation of the influence of geology on the water resources of the north 

interior States with reference to the drought. Next to the weather, the geologic 

conditions are the most important controls of both surface-winter and groundwater supplies in times of drought. The region is largely under lair by water-bearing 

formations, which constitute great hold-over reservoirs. The critical areas were 

those where the main water-bearing formations are absent, or contain salt water, 

or are thin or impervious.

The Coastal Plain is underlain by seaward-dipping sediments from which water 

Is pumped extensively. Overpumping causes not only lowering of ground-water 

level but in gome places allows the encroachment of salt water. Highly mineralized 

water is found in some places in deep wells, and shallow water is therefore used 

for large and also small supplies.

130. The need for a Nation-wide program of observation wells, by^ 0. E. Meinzer. Abstr. in A. G. U. Trans., August 1935. pp. 498-499.

The severe droughts of recent years have developed great interest in t*re groundwater resources Qf the country. The records of water levels in wells and their 

interpretation have long formed an 'important part of ground-water work. On 

January 1, 1933, about 3,000 observation wells in the country were beinr measured 

periodically by the Ground Water Division of the United States Geol. Survey or by 

cooperating parties. The immediate problem is to round out this work into a 

comprehensive and coordinated national program.

Abstract of a report by a board of engineers and geologists. to the War Department relating to the geology and hydrology of a sea-level canal under construction 

across the northern part of the Florida Peninsula. The board finds that the water 

level in the Ocala limestone will be lowered about 40 feet along part of the canal 

route, an'd the effects of this lowering will extend 10 or 15 mile? from the canal. 

Also the lowering of the water table along the canal will affect the artesian head 

in the artesian basin east of Silver Spring. Includes map shewing piezometric 

surface.

The two general sources of ground-water supply in New England are the bedrock, 

.which is suitable for small individual supplies, and the glacial sand and gravel, 

which are adaptable to large supplies. Outlines the theory of formati-m of sand 

and gravel bodies by glaciation. By means of correlation between iron content of

 The channel-storage method is based on the law that in any period when there 

is no overland runoff the quantity of water derived by effluent seepage into a 

stream system equals the quantity discharged from the stream system minus the 

decrease or plus the increase in channel storage. The paper presents the results 

of investigation on a small drainage basin in Virginia.

Points out some erroneous conceptions about transpiration. Tl *. diurnal cycle 

in the ground-water table and in the stream represents an accumulation curve 

showing the difference between additions to and extractions from storage. The 

maximum rate of ground-water discharge occurs at the time wl -?n the groundwater level is at the minimum stage and vice versa.

Classifies rocks with respect to their origin and discusses the relationship of 

their interstices to the transmission of contamination. The mode of occurrence of 

ground-water supplies, whether under water-table or artesian cond'^ons, is a vital 

factor in the protection of the supply from contamination. Contamination moves 

in the same direction as the ground water, but normal direction o* movement may

To prevent contamination by salt water, the "Maui" type of we1 ' is used. It 

consists of a vertical or inclined shaft at the bottom of which is a, pumping chamber 

and sump fed by one or more infiltration tunnels. These are so. constructed as to 

skim the fresh water from the surface of the heavier salt water. > 166. Contamination of ground water, by A. G- Fiedler. The Driller, vol. 11,

The chief factors that influence contamination are the character of water-bearing 

rocks (size, shape, and arrangement of interstices) and the "mode cf occurrence, 

whether under water-table or artesian conditions. Discusses rate ant" direction of 

movement and the effect of pumping.

Ground water plays a large part in stream discharge. To decrease surface runoff 

and increase ground-water supplies, artificial methods of recharge, such as water 

spreading, have been used under favorable conditions with success. Tl * importance 

of not upsetting the natural balance of-the stream is stressed.

168. Land subsidence caused by pumping, by 0. E. Meinzer. Fig. NewsRecord, vol. 118, No. 19, May 13, 1937. p. 715.

Subsidence in the Santa Clara Valley, Calif., was caused by withdrawal of 

ground water and resulting compression of the aquifers. Similar subsidence has 

probably taken place in other areas. Compressibility and elasticity of artesian 

aquifers may be of great importance in connection with water supplies.

Clay beds are widespread on Long Island, but erosion channels through them 

permit some recharge to underlying sandy strata. About 65 percent of the, pumped 

water supply of more than 200,000,000 gallons a day comes from surficial beds of 

Illinoian or Wisconsin age. Because of restricted recharge to the lover beds and 

 the desirability of saving them for use in localities where the upper be% may easily 

become contaminated by salt water, any future large developments stould be from 

the surficial beds. ' ~

7, No. 7, July 1937. pp. 487-490.

A summary of the types of ground-water investigations made in Texas by the 

United States Geological Survey. Methods of determining the safe yield are the 

recharge method, the transmission method, and the discharge irethod. Mentions 

special problems of salt-water encroachment and salt-water leaks i" water wells.

172. A selected list of papers relating to ground-water hydrolc<*y, by A. N. 

Sayre. A. G. U. Trans., July 1937. pp. 325-328.

Forms Appendix A of the Report of the Committee on Underground Waters for 

1936-37. Lists 76 papers and makes brief statements on some of them, calling attention to phases of ground-water problems that are not apparent from the titles.

178. Report of the Committee on the Chemistry of Natural Waters, by C. S. 

Howard. A. G. U. Trans., July 1937. pp. 342-343. 

Summarizes work relating to. quality of ground water done in Pennsylvania, 

New Mexico, and Florida.

174. The value of geophysical methods in ground-water studies, by 0. E. 

Meinzer. A. G. U. Trans., July 1937. pp. 385-387.

Introduces a series of five other papers on the subject. Geophys'nal methods will 

prove valuable in the study of ground - water, especially the elrotrical-resistivity 

method, which depends on the conductivity of the water. It is promising for 

distinguishing salt water from fresh water and coarse water-bearing materials from 

sediments that are too fine to yield much water.

175. Resistivity studies of some salt-water boundaries in Hawaiian Islands, by 

J. H. Swartz. A. G. U. Trans., July 1937. pp. 387-393.

The basal fresh water floats on salt water in accordance with the Ghyben-Herzberg principle. The top of the salt water was located by resistivity methods in 

several places, three examples being given. Mentions possible causes of errors in 

the determinations but states that in general it is feasible to determine the depths 

to salt water by resistivity measurements made with the partitioning method.

176. The use of resistivity methods in the location of salt-water bodies in the 

El Paso, Tex., area, by A. N. Sayre and E. L. Stephenson. A. G. U. 

Trans., July 1937. pp. 393-398.

The location of areas near £1 Paso in which salt water occurs was attempted 

by electrical resistivity methods. The northern boundary of onre such area was 

defined. In another area water of better quality beneath the salt water was suggested by the resistivity curves and was encountered in a test well.

177. The mutual interference of artesian wells on Long Island, N. Y., by R. M. 

Leggette. A .G. U. Trans., July 1937. pp. 490-494.

Interference tests on several artesian wells pumping from the Lloyd sand show 

that the beginning or cessation of pumping in one group of wells has a measurable 

effect on artesian head in wells as much as 7 miles distant.

178. Ground-water levels in Pennsylvania in 1936, by S. W. Lohman. A. G. U. 

Trans., July 1937. pp. 494-498.

Conditions that produced record-breaking floods in March 193* raised groundwater levels to the highest average stage of the past 5-1/3 years, but they declined 

to low stages in September. Ground-water discharge to the SusqueVanna River during the period seems to have been sufficient to account for the strerro flow, exclusive 

of storm runoff.

179. Ground water in Utah, by G. H. Taylor. A. G. U. Trans., July 183.7. pp. 

636-541.

Discusses the ground-water areas and ground-water level In Ut^h and the regulation and conservation of ground water by legislation. Inelu<?«« map showing 

ground-water province! and areas.
JOURNAL ARTICLES 211

180. Amount of ground-water recharge in the southern High Plains, by C. V. 

Theis. A. G. U. Trans., July 1937. pp. 564-568.

Nearly all the rainfall either evaporates locally or percolates underground. The 

average annual rainfall is 14 to 22 inches. A thick mantle of silt overlies the 

water-bearing Ogallala formation. Several methods of estimating the recharge indicate an average of less than half an inch of water a year.

181. The Florida ship canal, by J. S. Brown. Boon. Geol., vol. 8?, No. 5, 

August 1937. pp. 589-599.

Discussion of a paper by Sidney Paige in Econ. Geol.. Sept.-Oct., 193" pp. 687- 

570. Concludes that construction of the canal will cause substantial lowering of 

the water table over a wide area, substantial decrease in flow of .certain large 

streams, and intrusion of sea water into the lower portion of the Ocala formation.

182. Administrative control of underground water, physical and legal aspects, 

by Harold Conkling; discussion, by D. G- Thompson- Am. £'ioc. Civil 

Eng. Proc., \ol. 63, p. 2 (Trans., vol. 102), New York, Octol IT 1987. 

pp. 798-819.

"Much of the classification of ground waters adopted in many court decisions and 

by writers of legal textbooks is not consistent with scientific principles of groundwater hydrology." Discusses the subject under the heads: Attempts at, or lack of, 

control in eastern States (gives also examples of legislation in the West) ; Doctrines 

of correlative rights and appropriation; Examples of lack of appreciation of fundamental hydrologic problems.

183. The chemical character of the ground waters of the south Atlantic 

Coastal Plain, by M. D. Foster. Washington Acad. Sci. Jour., vol. 27, 

No. 10, Oct. 15,1937. pp. 405-412.

The chemical character is due chiefly to the amount of dissolved carton dioxide 

and the materials through which the waters percolate. Wells of shallow arrl moderate 

depth in the Coastal Plain of Virginia. North Carolina, and South Carolina yield 

calcium bicarbonate waters. Deep wells yield sodium bicarbonate waters, due to 

base exchange. In Florida and Georgia there is no evidence of base exchange, and 

both shallow and deep wells yield calcium bicarbonate waters. Along the coast the 

normal ground-water relationships may be upset by admixture of salt water.

184. Ground-water supplies, by A. G. Fiedler and others. Public Health Service Repts., Supp. 124, Washington, D. C., 1937. 24 pp.

Discusses the procurement of water from wells and describes location, protection, 

and treatment necessary to make it suitable for use. Chief factors of sanitary quality 

are mode of occurrence, nature of the formation, slope of land surface and water 

level, rate of pumping, height above any nearby surface water body, ard distance 

from sources of pollution. Shows approved types of pumping equipment and details 

of installation by 20 text figures.

185. Effect of a sea-level canal on the ground-water level of Florida, by D. G. 

Thompson, O. E. Meinzer, and V. T. Stringfield. Econ. Geol., vol. 33, 

No. 1, January-February 1938. pp. 87-107.

Discusses a paper by Sidney Paige in Econ. Geol., Sept.-Oct. 1936, pp. 537-570. 

Treats of the permeability of the Ocala limestone, artesian conditions effect on 

ground-water levels, salt-water conditions, and the effect on the water-supply of 

the Sanford district.

186. The value of long-time records of ground water, by S. F. Turner. Texas 

Water Works 20th Short School Proc., College Station, Tcx., Feb. 

14-18, 1938. pp. 48-56.

Describes methods of studying the ground-water resources of the Stati. Emphasizes the value of long-time records of water levels and pumpagre. Give1 types of 

observation wells and methods of measuring water levels in them.

187. The chemical character of natural waters, by W. L. Lamar. A. W. W. 

Assoc. Jour., vol. 30, No. 3, March 1938. pp. 495-497.

, The actual amounts and relative amounts of the dissolved mineral constituents 

usually determine the chemical character and general usefulness of a wrter. Some 

ground water, especially shallow water, varies in composition from tim? to time. 

A single analysis of iron and manganese content may be misleading. The treatment 

of a water sample during the time between collection and analysis is imr>ortant.

188. Progress report, Geological survey of Texas ground vaters, by S. F. 

Turner. Southwest Water Works Jour., Austin, Tex., June 1938. pp. 

21, 30.

Describes the progress of the water-well and spring inventory of the State and 

the distribution of well records to libraries throughout the Sta^.

189. Ground-water supplies in Florida, by V. T. Stringfield. Civil Eng. vol. 8, 

No. 7, July 1938. pp. 457-458.

An abridgment of a paper presented before the 1938 meetir*? of the American 

Society of Civil Engineers. Florida depends upon ground water for municipal and 

private requirements. Emphasizes the need for careful planning in ground-water 

exploitation.' Describes the water-bearing formations of the State and discusses the 

factors that should be taken into account in their development.

190. Some problems relating to legal control of use of ground waters, by D. G. 

Thompson and A. G. Fiedler. A. W. W. Assoc. Jour., vol. 30, No. 7, 

July 1938, pp. 1049-1091; Abstr. in Water Works E-g., vol. 91, No. 

16, Aug. 3, 1938, pp. 1040-1041, 1053.

Briefly reviews the occurrence of ground water and cites ground-water developments to illustrate legal control problems arising as a result of i-«e of ground water. 

Discusses general principles of law and rights relating to surface waters in relation 

to their bearing upon legal control of ground water. The doctrine of reasonable use 

and correlative rights does not appear to bring about desired ground-water control. 

The doctrine of appropriation, properly applied, offers a means of control, which 

is being used successfully in several areas.

191. Importance of ground-water supply, by O. E. Meinzer. Water Works 

Eng., vol. 91, Nos. 17-18, August 1938. pp. 1086-1088, 1139-1143,1157.

Development of pure water supplies in recent years has been a large factor in 

increasing longevity. The great ground-water reservoirs -in the United States are 

the valley fill in the Western States, the Great Plains sand and gravel, lava in 

the Northwest and in Hawaii, glacial drift in the Northern Spates, the Gulf and 

Atlantic Coastal Plains, the Dakota sandstone, and Paleozoic roiks. Emphasizes the 

increasing development and use of ground water.

192. Report of the Committee on Underground Waters for 1937-38, by D. G. 

Thompson. A. G. U. Trans., August 1938. pp. 342-345.

Summarizes the more important papers and developments in the field of ground 

water during the year in appendixes as follows: A, Ground-water investigations 

in California, by H. F. Blaney; B, Ground-water problems rotated to production 

of oil, by F. H. Lahee: C, Notes on the hydrology of limestone terranes, by A. C. 

Swinnerton.

193. Ground water for air conditioning on Long Island, N. Y., by E. M. Leggette and M. L. Brashears, Jr., A, G- U. Trans., Augvst 1938, pp, 412- 

418.

Use of ground water for air conditioning has resulted in considerable increase 

in pumpage on the western end of Long Island, where the d-aft on the groundwater reservoir was already excessive. In order to conserve the ground water, the 

State Water Power and Control Commission requires that water from new wells 

used for air conditioning shall be returned to the ground. This is usually done 

through a recharge well. The temperature of the ground water has been increased 

10° to 15° by the return of the used water.

194. Ground-water underflow in Croton Valley, N. Y., a comparison of field 

and laboratory methods, by C. E. Jacob. A. -G. U. Trans,, August 

1938. pp. 419-430.

Gives data on test wells in the valley, water-level measurements, and determinations of tiie underflow by the Slichter method, the Thiem method, and the Theis 

method. The values of the underflow, determined by these methods, ranged from 

86,000 to 99,000 gallons a day. In his summary and conclusions the author discusses 

the weaknesses and the advantages of each method used.

outflow and very little inflow. Fnmpage is concentrated near El Paso. Volumes of 

cones of depression were computed, and average specific yield was calculated. The 

volume of water released from storage is only a fraction of the total p^nnpage.

196. Ten years of ground-water records in the Grand Prairie region, Ark., by 

D. G. Thompson. Abstr. in G. S. A. Bull., vol. 49, No. 12, December 

1938. pp. 1903-1904.

Records for 1928-38 show water-level decline each year. During the irrigation 

season 150,000 to 250,000 acre-feet of water is pumped from Pleistocene sand and 

gravel. Artesian he&d has declined in the area between the Ozark F'ateau and 

Crowley's Ridge, though only a small withdrawal of ground water has taken place, 

which shows that the recharge is small, owing to a nearly impervious cover of silt 

and clay.

197. Geology and artesian-water resources of a portion of the Virgina'". Coastal 

Plain, by D. J. Cederstrom. Abstr. in G. S. A. Bull., vol. 4f, No. 12, 

Dec. 1,1938. p. 1947.

Describes ground-water conditions in Southampton, Sussex, and Isle of WlgBt 

'Counties. Artesian water is obtained from Cretaceous beds. The original head has 

lowered, and a cone of depression has formed in the area including fre cities of 

Franklin and Courtland. Hard water moving eastward becomes soft 1** base ex- 

. change. The fluoride content is high in some areas. No appreciable sa't-water in-,- 

trusion has developed.

198 Geochemical relations of ground waters in the Houston-Galveston area, 

Tex., by M. D. Poster. Abstr. in G. S. A. Bull, vol. 49* No. 12, Dec. 1, 

1938. p. 1949.

Ground-water supplies in the area are chiefly from the WHHs (T), Lissie, and 

Beaumont formations. Shallow waters in the different formations differ in content 

of calcium bicarbonate and total mineral content. Waters in all the formations 

change from calcium bicarbonate to sodium bicarbonate type as they pass downward, presumably as a, result of reaction between the waters and ba«e-exehange 

minerals in the sands.

199. The significance and nature of the cone of depression in grornd-water 

bodies, by C. V. Theis. Econ. Geol., vol. 33, No. 8, December 1938. pp. 

889-902.

surface, and cones of depression.

200. Wells on the public range, by G. A. Waring. Eng. News-Record1 , vol. 12J, 

 No. 24, Dec. 15, 1938. pp. 757-758.

Gives notes on the drilling of wells for water for cattle and sheep under the 

Taylor Grazing Act, with figures on the costs of wells. To the end of July 1937 

the Division of Grazing, United States Department of the Interior, had1 drilled 109 

. successful wells.

201. Salt-water intrusion, a coastal ground-water problem, by H. C. P^rksdale. 

Abstr. in Econ. Geol., vol. 34, No. 1, January-February 1939., p. 129,

Salt-water intrusion is upward movement of salt-water caused by arti**cial lowering, of fresh-water head in beds containing both fresh and, salt wate~. Discusses 

the principle of Ghyben and Herzberg and gives examples. EJffectlve control of 

ground-water pumpage will be necessary to prevent salt-water intnitfi-m in many 

important water-bearing formations of the Atlantic Coastal Plain.

202. Ground waters of the Houston-Galveston area, by M. D. Foster. Ind. 

and Eng. Chemistry, vol. 31, Easton, Pa., August 1939, pp. 1028-1034; 

Abstr. in A. W. W. Assoc. Jour., vol. 32, No. 5, May 1940, pp. 889-890.

Describes occurrence and quality of ground water in the area, which forms part 

of the Gulf Coastal Plain. The principal sources of ground water are the Willis, 

Lissie, and Beaumont sands (Tertiary and Pleistocene). Shallow waters are characterized by calcium bicarbonate. With increasing depth, in some formations sodium 

is exchanged for calcium and magnesium, owing to base exchange minerals in the 

beds. The area is one in which heavy pumping tends to produce intrusion of *alt

water into some of the important water-bearing beds. About 100 million gallon* ». 

day of ground water is used for industrial purposes in the area. T^s ground-water 

conditions, chemical character of the water, change of character with depth, artesiani 

head, and possibility of salt-water contamination with overpumpin-r are typical of 

the general conditions throughout the Gulf Coastal Plain. The paper includes 19 

analyses of ground water and a graphic presentation of the chemical composition 

of typical waters.

203. Ground-water problems in the southern High Plains, by W. N. White, 

A. G. U. Trans., August 1939. pp. 32-35.

Discusses surface and ground-water supplies for irrigation and also the effect of 

pumping on the ground-water level. Describes studies to detertrine the rate of 

natural discharge of ground water at the edge of the High Plains. Artificial methods 

of increasing the recharge to ground-water supplies do not seem t> be feasible.

204. Geophysical investigations in the Hawaiian Islands, by J. F. Swartz. A. 

G. U. Trans., August 1939. pp. 292-298.

Ground water occurs both as perched water and as basal grourd water floatingon salt water in accordance with the Ghyben-Herzberg principle. Magnetic and 

electrical resistivity surveys were made on Oahu, Molokai, and ME ui. Several wells 

were located which had been covered over, and the height of the water table was 

determined in several places.

'205. Report of the Committee on Underground Waters for 193P-39, by D. G. 

Thompson. A. G. U. Trans., August 1939. pp. 545-555.

In large parts of the area affected by the drought of 1934 water levels have risen, 

although there has been no excessive precipitation. In some areas where precipitation has continued deficient or where there has been heavy pumjMng water levels 

have declined. Large rises have taken place on Long Island, N. Y., and in parts 

of California, owing to heavy precipitation. Evidence on the compressibility of 

water-bearing formations has accumulated. Studies of contamination by salt water 

are being made.

206. Earth tides shown by fluctuations of water levels in wells in New Mexico 

and Iowa, by T. W. Robinson. A. G. U. Trans., August 1939. pp. 

656-666.

Analyses of the fluctuations of the water levels In two wells, ore near Carlsbad, 

N. M., and the other near Iowa City, Iowa, show that after corrections are made 

for barometric fluctuations there are semidiurnal fluctuations thet can be closely 

correlated with the earth tides caused by the moon and the sun.

207. Fluctuations in artesian pressure produced by passing railroad trains as 

shown in a well on Long Island, N. Y., by C. E. Jac*>b. A. G. U. 

Trans., August 1939. pp. 666-674.

A study of the fluctuation of water level in a well 54 feet from a railroad track. 

The author shows that the weight of a passing- train compresses the aquifer and 

causes water 1o rise in the well. The magnitude of fluctuation o* the water level 

varies with the speed and weight of the train.

208. Discussion of question No. 2 of the International Commission on Subterranean Water, Definitions of the different kinds of subterranean water, by 0. E. Meinzer. A. G. U. Trans., August 1939. pn. 674-677.

Subterranean water is classified on the basis of its occurrence, and international 

terms are proposed to designate different kinds of water in the zones of aeration 

and of saturation.

209. Earth tides expressed in fluctuations of the water level in artesian wells 

in New Mexico, by C. V. Theis. Internat. Union Geodesy and Geophysics, Washington, D. C. September 1939. 11 pp. (Mimeographed.)

(Giyes data on fluctuations in water level in artesian wells n-sar Carlsbad and 

/Conchas Dam, N. Mex., in phase with the moon's rotation. Ascribes the fluctuations 

to elastic dilation and compression of water contained in the aquif?r due to bulging 

and recession, of earth's crust by earth tides. Derives tentative formula relating 

these fluctuations to eay$fa #des.

thermal water, which show very small content of manganese.

212. Ground-water conditions of the Dakota sandstone in northwestern Iowa, 

by T. W. Robinson. Abstr. in Econ. Geol., vol. 34, No. 8, December 

1939. p. 940.

Water in the Dakota sandstone in northwestern Iowa occurs under artesian 

conditions, but the head is nowhere sufficient to produce natural flow from wells 

at the land surface. A contour map of the piezometric surface of the vater in the 

formation shows the general direction of movement to be southward, Int a prominent ground-water divide begins about 60 miles east /of the Iowa-South lakota State 

line and extends about 100 miles southward from the Minnesota-Iowa State line. 

Some decline of artesian head has occurred locally in heavily pumped areas.

areas. The Ogallala formation furnishes most of the ground water. Alluvium and 

the Dakota and Cheyenne sandstones are also important sources of ground water. 

Jurassic and Triassic rocks supply a few wells. Permian red beds yield snail supplies 

of highly mineralized water in the eastern part of the area.

214. Geology and ground-water resources of the "Equus beds" area in southcentral Kansas, by S. W. Lohman and J. C. Frye. Econ. Geo'., vol. 35, 

No. 7, Nov. 1940, pp. 839-866; abstr. in Econ. Geol., vol. F4, No. 8, 

December-1939, pp. 942-943.

pp. 1126-1131; abstr. in G. S. A. Bull., vol. 50, No. 12, December 1939, 

p. 1983.

Ground water is used by three-fourths of the public water-supply systems in 

Ohio, which supply 1% million people. Large quantities are used for cooling and 

other industrial uses. Water levels have declined throughout the State. Investigation was begun in the Cincinnati area in 1988, where 65,000,000 gallons was pumped 

daily from alluvial valleys. Declines in the water level of as much as 90 feet have 

taken place in the past 50 years in the industrial centers.

; America Bull,, vol. 30, No. 2, Stanford Univ., Calif., April 1940. pp. 

93-97.

Describes and illustrates fluctuations in water levels in wells in Utah, California, 

and New Mexico caused by earthquakes in Alaska on November 10, 1938, and in 

Chile on January 24, 1939. Compares these fluctuations with previously reported 

seismic fluctuations in wells.

219. The source of water derived from wells, by C. V. Theis. Civil Eng., vol. 

10, No. 5, May 1940. pp. 277-280.

Essential factors controlling the establishment of a new hydraulic equilibrium 

when water is discharged from an aquifer by a well are distance f-om and character 

of recharge, distance to natural discharge, and shape of the con? of depression as 

determined largely by the physical characteristics of the aquifer. Water discharged 

.from wells must be balanced by a loss of storage in the aquifer, a decrease in the 

natural discharge, or an increase in the recharge, the last of which is possible 

only when the available recharge exceeds the capacity of the aquifer to transmit 

water under natural conditions.

The area is one of the most productive artesian basins in the United States, yielding at least 180,000,000 gallons a day, nearly half of which is used by six large 

industrial plants. The water comes from the Ocala limestone from depths of 200 to 

500 feet. Most of the wells flow, except near Savannah, where the head has been 

reduced by heavy withdrawal, but encroachment of salt water has not yet taken place.

Ground water generally is more economical than surface water for cool'ig purposes 

because of its lower temperature. The New York State Water Power and Control 

Commission requires that ground water pumped for cooling purposes must be returned 

to the ground. The amount'of recharge during the cooling season has increased from 

abftut ty million gallons a day in 1933 to 30 million gallons a day in 1940. The 

temperature of the water returned to the ground ranges from 2° to 20° higher than 

the temperature of the water pumped from the ground.

Salty water from wells along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are low in calcium, 

magnesium, and sulfate in comparison with theoretical mixtures of sea water and 

fresh ground water from about the same depths in the same formations. This indicates that base exchange and sulfate reduction have taken place. From the indicated 

occurrence of these phenomena conclusions are drawn about the orifin of the contaminating salt water, whether it is. present-day sea water or connate water. Contains 

tables and diagrams giving; analyses of representative samples of ground water.

Difference in types of fluctuation of the ground-water level may de-rend on the 

topographic position of wells, their distance from streams, and the dep^h to water. 

The formula used for determining flow of ground water into a ditch may be applicable 

to flow of ground water into a stream. Although the rate of movement, is slow, the 

large area of discharge along stream banks may produce conditions so tl xt contributions of ground water to streams may in some areas be much greater, at least for 

short periods, than is customarily thought.

The island is composed largely of volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous age, 

strongly folded, intruded by dioritic magmas, and overlain by clay "and marl of 

Oligocene and Miocene age. The Tertiary rocks have been gently felded along westward-southwestward trending axes. Oscillations in sea level produced alluvium-filled 

valleys, alluvial terraces, raised beaches, and coral reefs. Ground water can be 

obtained in moderate quantities from the old rocks, the Tertiary marls, and the 

alluvium. The alluvium is the most promising source for additiona' water supplies. 

The cause of well failures and the source of mineralization of the water are discussed.

They are lower in calcium, magnesium, and sulfate and higher in sodium, suggesting 

that the waters have undergone base exchange and reduction of sulfate. The indicated replacement of magnesium and calcium by sodium suggests that these base 

minerals are not in equilibrium with present-day sea water or with salty waters 

formed by its admixture with fresh ground water in which sodium carbonate is the 

predominant constituent.

Assoc. Jour., vol. 34, No. 11, November 1942. pp. 1595-1605.

The fundamental fact about ground water is that it occurs in great widespread subterranean reservoirs, many of which have large storage capacities. Thoug'h irregular 

and intricate in their construction, they can be accurately mapped, and their structure can be determined. Their hydraulics are also intricate with respect to the intake, 

head, movement, storage, and discharge of their waters, and involve principles 

of physics which have little or no significance in the hydraulics of surface water. 

The waters of these reservoirs, however, obey rigorously the laws of fluid mechanics, 

and within limitations imposed by the irregularities of the rock formations and of 

the weather it is possible to determine their annual recharge, perennial yield, and 

storage capacities. Moreover, the efficient and beneficial operation of th> reservoirs 

can be accomplished by the practical application of the knowledge developed by these 

scientific methods of investigation.

and E. G. Kazmann.

343. Cation exchange in ground water contaminated with sea water near 

Miami, Fla., by S. K. Love. A. G. U. Trans., pt. 6, May 1945. pp. 

951-955.

The composition of the ground water contaminated by sea water differs considerably 

from the composition of simple mixtures of ground water and sea water. The differences can be explained as being due tq cation exchange. The concentration of 

calcium is larger and of magnesium and sodium smaller than is required by computed analysis of mixture of the waters. Analyses of samples of the contaminated 

ground water that are presented suggest that soil colloids may be Involved in the 

chemical changes.

344. Problems of the perennial yield of artesian aquifers, by O. E. Meinzer. 

Econ. Geol., vol. 40, No. 3, May 1945. pp. 159-163.

Calls attention to the sharp distinction between typical phrentic, or water-table 

conditions, and typical piestic, 'or artesian conditions. Reviews early studies of the 

hydraulic of wells and describes experimental work of recent years. States that the 

present view is that water delivered from an artesian aquifer } as come first from 

the aquifer itself and later in larger volume from the associated clay and silt beds. 

Therefore there has been relatively little compression of the aqui*«>r and hence little 

reduction in its permeability.

345. Ground-water exploration at Alexandria, La., by J. C. ITaher and P. H. 

Jones.' Econ. Geol., vol. 40, No. 3, May 1945. pp. 164-182. ,

Serious overdevelopment of the ground-water supply in Alexandria and vicinity 

necessitated the development of additional supplies in the Brvou Rapides area. 

about 6 miles northwest of Alexandria. Exploratory work was frst done, including 

the drilling of 6 test holes. The principal fresh-water sands are at depths of 150 

to 970 feet, in Miocene deposits. Brackish or salt water is found pt a minimum depth 

of 1,100 feet.

and N. A. Rose. Econ. Geol., vol. 40, No. 3, May 1945. pp. 193-226.

The most reliable index of the quantity of water a formation will yield has 

heretofore been considered to be the correlation of pumpage with water levels In 

wells. Under new methods, pumping tests establish the equation of a, water-level 

drawdown curve for a short period of time; by means of the equation the curve can 

then be extended over a longer period. Pumping tests made for this purpose at six 

places in Texas are briefly described.

H. Brown and G. G. Parker. Econ. GeoL, vol. 40, No. 4, June-July 

1945. pp. 235-262.

Silver Bluff is part of a coastal ridge that has an average height o* about 8 

feet above sea level. It is composed of oolitic limestone underlain by c?ral limestone and calcareous sandstone. Drainage canals have lowered the original groundwater level and allowed salt water to encroach inland 8,000 tq 9,000 feet. A balance 

between fresh and salt water seems to be established for a zone between the shore 

and about 2,500 feet inland. Farther inland the balance has not yet been attained.

353. The perennial yield of artesian water in the coastal area of Georgia and 

northeastern Florida, by H. H. Cooper, Jr., and M. A. Warren. Econ. 

GeoL, vol. 40, No. 4, June-July 1945. pp. 263-282.

Heavy withdrawat of artesian water has created large cones of depression at 

Savannah and Fernandina and smaller cones at Jacksonville and Brunswick. However, large additional supplies can be developed in most parts of the area if the new 

well fields are located at sufficient distances from existing ones and the Icwer parts 

of the water-bearing limestones are not developed too extensively.

Describes the available surface-water and ground-water supplies and discusses 

their chemical quality. Concludes that large supplies of water are available but that 

careful consideration should be given to the chemical character of water used for 

injection to prevent reaction with the natural brine to form insoluble compounds 

that would seal off the injection wells.

Geol., vol. 40, No. 1, January-February 1945. pp. 90r91, . -

This is the first of a series of five papers on artificial recharge prepared as a 

symposium on the subject. The full utilization of natural subterranean reservoirs of 

water requires systematic development based on geology and hydrology and the 

principles of hydraulics. In an artesian aquifer geologic study with test drilling 

is needed to determine the intake area and its structural relations to the pumped 

wells. Artificial recharge requires an effective process for -^getting surface wa!feV 

into the saturated part of the aquifer. ', ; t |f

by H. C. Barksdale and G. D. DeBuchananne. Al Hr. in Econ. 

Geol., vol. 40, No. 1, January-February 1945. p. 78.

Artificial recharge by water spreading is practiced in several places in New 

Jersey. At the Perth Amboy Water Works such recharge has be«.n carried on for 

more than 30 years. The city of East Orange spreads the water f~om several small 

streams over the /irea supplying its wells. In some places well sftes are chosen to 

*ake advantage of potential recharge from bodies of? surface^ waVa. - . -, '.' . ..

abstr. in Econ. Geol., vol. 40, No. 1, January-February 1945. p. 79,

During the summer of 1944 more than 200 recharge wells and several recharge

pits on Long Island returned water to underground storage at the rate of 60 million

gallons a day. The water is returned to glacial deposits of sand and gravel from

which most of it was pumped. In many places the water table is far below sea

* level, and sea water continues to move-inland in areas of heavy lumping.

charge has been increased about 2 million gallons a day by introducing city water 

into the aquifer through wells in winter. This makes an ample supply of cool water 

available from the wells during the summer when the city water becomes too warm 

to be used in certain'plants.

January-February 1945. p. 95.

The principal aquifer at Orlando consists of about 900 feet of penr°.able limestone of Eocene age overlain by relatively impervious beds. Owing to the lack of 

adequate surface drainage, more than 175 wells have been drilled into ti t limestone 

to drain streets, control lake levels, and dispose of sewage.

for war purposes in the United States, by C. L. McGuinne&s. Abstr. 

in Econ. Geol., vol. 40, No. 1, January-February 1945. p. 90.

Pumpage of ground water for public supply in the United States was greatly 

accelerated after the beginning of the war in Europe. Large ground-water supplies 

were also developed for military and naval establishments. The technical staff of 

the Geological Survey engaged in ground-water investigations has mad? many examinations and prepared more than 3,000 reports on ground water for war purposes.
