The Underground Water Resources Of Alabama PDF Download

Excerpt from The Underground Water Resources of Alabama Sir: - Since 1898 the Geological Survey of Alabama in co-operation with the United States Geological Survey, has been engaged in the systematic investigation of the Water Resources of the State. Most of the well records contained in the present report were published by the United States Geological Survey, in Water Supply and Irrigation Paper No. 102, "Contributions to the Hydrology" of the Eastern United States, by M. L. Fuller, 1903-4." A year later a Summary of the Underground Water Conditions in Alabama, with a sketch map showing approximately the artesian water systems of the State, was prepared by the present writer for Water Supply and Irrigation Paper No. 114 of the National Survey, "Underground Water Conditions of the Eastern United States, by M. L. Fuller, 1904." The manuscript of this report, in approximately its present form, was submitted in July 1905 to the Director of the United States Geological Survey. In that office it was edited, to its material improvement, and with the expectation of early publication; but owing to the congestion of work at the Government Printing Office, the prospect of immediate publication by the National Survey seemed to be so remote that the manuscript was returned for publication by the Alabama Survey. During this interval a considerable amount of new material had accumulated, which has been incorporated in the report, together with additional sections in the discussion of the Chemistry and Classification of the Alabama Waters. I trust that the report now submitted to the people of Alabama may be of service to many, and that in due time it may be followed by a more comprehensive account of the Underground Water Resources of the State, and especially of the medicinal waters.
