The United States Geological Survey is currently investigating the ground-water resources of Connecticut in cooperation with the State Water Commission. As part of this cooperative project, in order to summarize the knowledge already gained about ground water in the State, a bibliography of reports dealing with ground water in Connecticut has been prepared. A compilation entitled "Bibliography and

The United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works in 1938 began an investigation of the ground-water conditions in Massachusetts. This work is part of a larger cooperative program that includes surface-water investigations, geologic studies, and topographic mapping. The purpose of the ground-water studies is to obtain detailed information concerni

This paper presents the results of studies of average rainfall and runoff, developed in the Office of the Division Engineer, New England Division, United States Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with the District Engineer, United States Geological Survey, and prepared in connection with flood‐control studies of the Connecticut and Merrimack River basins.

Through Commander K. M. Clark of the Navy Department, Bureau of Yards and Docks, Office of the Superintending Civil Engineer, Area 1, Boston Massachusetts, the Ground Water Division of the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to make a brief reconnaissance in the vicinity of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to determine the possibilities of developing a ground-water supply for utilization at the Portsmo

In February 1942 the War Production Board requested the U.S. Geological Survey to furnish information on the possibilities of obtaining additional water supply near the shore at Hingham, Mass. It was estimated that 300,000 to 500,000 gallons a day was needed. On February 25 and 26, 1942, a brief field study of the ground-water conditions was made in an area about 2 miles wide along the shore of H

The intrusion of salt water in the lower Connecticut River Basin was studied during October 1, 1934, to June 30, 1939. The field‐ and laboratory‐work was done as a project of the Works Progress Administration under the sponsorship of the State Water Commission of the State of Connecticut. Some technical assistance was given by the Geological Survey through cooperation with the State Water Commissi

During the period March 9-22, 1936, there occurred in close succession over the northeastern United States, from the James and upper Ohio River Basins in Virginia and Pennsylvania to the river basins of Maine, two extraordinarily heavy storms, in which the precipitation was almost entirely in the form of rain. The depths of rainfall mark this period as one of the greatest concentrations of precipi

This report on the Penobscot River drainage system, the largest and one of the most important in Maine, has been compiled chiefly from the records, reports, and maps of the United States Geological Survey and from the results of surveys made in cooperation with the Maine State Survey Commission. The report includes all data on precipitation, stream flow, water storage, and water power that were av
