The role of ground water in the national water situation: With state summaries based on reports by District Offices of Ground Water Branch The role of ground water in the national water situation: With state summaries based on reports by District Offices of Ground Water Branch
Ground water in the United States has emerged from a quantitatively minor (though incalculably valuable) water source, whose chief role was in the settlement of primitive areas, to a major source now accounting for one-fifth to one-sixth of the Nation's total withdrawal requirements for water. With the growth in ground-water withdrawals is an accompanying growth in the realization that...
