earth's surface, is without doubt one
of Montanas most valuable and least
known and appreciated natural re-
sources. Without ground water, the
distribution of the population, the
economy, and the potential develop
ment of the state would be greatly
different.
AS an example, nearly the entire
rural population and more than 3d.
900 residents of rs communities, now
using ground water for domestic
purposes, would be restricted to 10
calities where surface water is avail
able for use. The stock-raising indus
try is virtually dependent on ground
water; it also would be restricted to
areas adjacent to lakes or perennial
streams. The base flow of m o st
streams is dependent on ound
water, and this flow, which repre-
sents ground-water discharge, vir-
tually governs all irrigation and
power developments long the
streams that are not provided with
surface-water reservoirs.
The present use that is being made
of ground water in Montana is only
a small part of the potential use. 1t
is a paradox that so little is known
about this valuable natural resource.
In only a few places in Montana
have comprehensive studies of the
occurrence of ground water been
made. These studies have been made
by the Ground Water Branch of the
US. Geological Survey as part of
the investigational program for de-
velopment of the Missouri River
basin.
In Al of the states, and in Hawaii
and Puerto Rico there are co-opera-
tive investigations in the field of
ground water similar to the co-opera-
tive program for surface-Water work
which has been going on for many
years in Montana. Montana is one of
the few states which have not
availed themselves of this oppor-
tunity for cooperative Investigations
of ground water. Few states are more
dependent upon this natural re-
source.
Information Sill Limited
The following statements regard
ing ground water in Montana are
based on published reports, on un-
published data that have accumu-
lated during the last few years, and
on observations made during the
reconnaissance of the geology ano
ground water resources of numerous
areas in the state. Because virtually
all this work has been east of the
continental divide, information or
the western part of the state is ever
less complete.
Ground water can be recovered
from the unconsolidated deposit!

state and also from some of the con
solidated formations that constitut,

briefly the occurrence of grount
water in the unconsolidated deposits

state, leading to the acquiring of
water rights similar to those for sur
face water. This bill called for CO.
operative ground water investiga-
tons as prelude to the appropria-
ton and conservation of the ground
water resources.
1t was recognized that in order to
achieve the maximum public bene-
fit such conservation must not mere
ly consist of avoiding water waste
and use, but, more Importantly, it
should encourage the maximum de-
velopment and use of ground water
that can be accomplished without de-
pleting the supply or impairing the
quality of this valuable natural re-
source.
Sound ground water development
involves the practical application of
scientific and technical knowledge
for the purpose of putting supplies
to their most beneficial use, keeping
them free from damaging pollution,
and utilizing them in accordance
with the best conservation principles.
For proper development and control
of ground water, investigations must
be made to determine the amount of
ground water present, its location
and the best means of development.
After these are known, and then
only, can sound constitutional meth
DDS of legal control, based on sound
principles of ground water hydro
logy, be devised. This bill, which fol-
lowed the pattern just mentioned,
was not passed.
Renewable Resource
Ground water is a renewable re-
source, in marked contrast to miner
ais and many other natural resources.
Thus, conservation of ground water
does not mean that it should not be
used. At present most of our ground
water reservoirs in Montana are
filled to OVERLOOKING. If we don't use
it, we lose it. It's similar to a forest.
Just as we must harvest the mature
timber in the forest, or lose it to
insects and decay, so must we use the
ground water from our reservoirs or
have it run away unused. Men would
not consider building large surface
water reservoirs and maintain them
full at all times. They must have
space in the reservoir to store excess
water for periods of shortage.
The same thing applies to our
ground water reservoirs. If we use
the water when we need it the re-
charge in time of excess precipita-
ton and runoff will be stored in the
unwatered part of the reservoir. Such
water use from many of our major
groundWater reservoirs in the inter-
montana valleys of western Montana
would have other great benefits
Most of these valleys have thousands
of acres of land which are either
nonproductive or have limited pro.
ductivity because of too high water
table. These lands normally have
the best soils but they cannot be
farmed at present. Major ground
water developments in these valley:
may serve to lower the water table
and bring such lands back in pro
duction.
